Hakyung Li, living in New Zealand, was found guilty by the court for killing her two children and hiding their bodies in bags. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This incident caused a great uproar in the country and attracted widespread public attention. The 44-year-old Li was found guilty of murder at the High Court in Auckland.
During the trial, she initially claimed to be innocent and also asserted that she was mentally disabled at the time. However, the prosecution emphasized that her actions were premeditated and planned.
The children’s bodies were found in an unused storage facility. A pathological examination revealed that they died under the influence of the drug Nortriptyline, by an unspecified method.
During the trial, it was revealed that Li hid the children’s bodies, changed her name, and returned to South Korea. She will be sentenced to the maximum penalty — life imprisonment.
This case has had a profound impact on New Zealand society.
