Mother Guilty of Killing Children
Tap title to read story
A New Zealand mother, Hakyung Lee, was found guilty of murdering her two children whose bodies were discovered in suitcases inside a storage unit. The trial lasted two weeks, with the defense arguing insanity due to her husband's death and her subsequent mental health decline. However, the prosecution countered that her actions, including hiding the bodies and fleeing to South Korea, demonstrated rationality. The cause of death remains unspecified, although an antidepressant was involved. Lee will be sentenced in November and faces a life sentence.
