There are still many questions about the case where a three-year-old child died in an empty house in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do. In addition to whether it was true that the child was alive when the mother left the house, there were suspicions that a person went there before the body was found today (16th). He said it was an empty house, but the electricity usage on the electricity bill is not much different from before the child’s mother moved. First of all, the police cannot confirm anything.
Reporter Lee Ga-hyuk covered it.

A villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk where a 3-year-old child was found dead in an empty house.
Looking at the electricity bill of the empty house where the child’s body was found, a considerable amount of electricity consumption is confirmed even after August last year, when the child’s mother, A, moved out.
Because of this, new suspicions are arising about whether people went to an empty house.
It is the position that the police cannot confirm anything.

The police are analyzing the cell phone of the child’s mother, A, to see if the child was abused prior to death.
I am intensively looking at pictures or text messages on my mobile phone.
It was found that the child did not go to the daycare center and rarely went out.
People around me also say that they rarely saw the child.

Meanwhile, Gumi City is reviewing the return of the parenting allowance and child allowance that Mr. A received for the child who died.
We plan to calculate the time of death and receive it back if unfair payment is confirmed based on the results of the future trial.
