SEOUL - An alleged case of infanticide committed by a South Korean woman in her 30s, who was found to have kept two infant bodies in a freezer at her apartment in Suwon, has been caught after the government investigated cases of more than 2,000 babies who were born in hospitals, but whose births remain unregistered by their parents for years, according to the state audit agency on Thursday.
The BAI has been looking into 1 per cent - or around 20 - unregistered babies. While tracing their whereabouts, the authorities happened to find the woman in Suwon who was keeping the infant bodies in her freezer, according to officials. The suspect admitted to killing the infants herself during the raid on Wednesday. The woman, who already has three children with her husband - a 12-year-old daughter, a 10-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter - was found to have committed infanticide when she became pregnant again amid escalating financial difficulties.
The husband told the police that he knew his wife was pregnant, but he didn’t know she had killed the babies. He also said that “I believed that she had abortions”. He is being investigated by police too.
