Mr. A, who killed a 3-year-old girl in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, is being sent to the Daegu District Prosecutor’s Office on charges of murder on the 19th of last month. News 1
It was investigated that the birth mother of a 3-year-old girl, found dead in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, was a woman in her late 40s who was previously known as her maternal grandmother. A, 22, was arrested on charges of leaving a 3-year-old girl alone at home and causing her to die.
According to the Gyeongsangbuk-do Gumi Police Station on the 11th, Mr. A’s mother, Mr. B, is being arrested and investigated on charges of looting or inducing minors under the criminal law. It’s allegedly swapping the baby.
The tangled relationship of blood originated when Mr. A’s mother, B, was pregnant and gave birth at the same time as Mr. A. The investigative agency believes that Mr. B gave birth to a girl and turned her daughter into a granddaughter to hide it. Mr. B is also known as the first reporter of a girl who died.
This fact was revealed in the process of testing the DNA of the girl and Mr. A. Although the DNA of A and the girl matched to some extent, it was found that they were not parent-child. The investigative authorities confirmed that the girl’s biological mother was Mr. B by expanding the DNA test to people around him. The whereabouts of the child that Mr. A originally gave birth to has not been identified.
First, the police are investigating the details after arresting Mr. B by applying only the charges of replacing the baby. The reason for the replacement of the baby is, of course, who the father of the girl who died, what the child of Mr. A did, and whether other family members knew about this.
In this regard, it is reported that Mr. A stated in a police investigation immediately after his arrest, “I hated seeing it because I was a child with my ex husband. This can be interpreted as a statement that Mr. A may not have known that the dead girl was replaced. However, the police are conducting investigations with the possibility that Mr. A was also aware of the fact of changing the baby.
Mr. B is not cooperative with the police investigation. A police official said, “After Mr. B replaced the baby, it seems that he certainly knows what he did to his daughter, but he is not making a proper statement.” On the morning of the 11th, Mr. B is scheduled to undergo an interrogation (warrant substantive examination) before arrest at Kimcheon Branch of the Daegu District Court.
In addition, the cause of the death of a 3-year-old girl was not identified at the autopsy. On the 26th of last month, “the cause of the girl’s death was unknown and there was no evidence of broken bones.” At the time of discovery, the degree of corruption of the girl who died was so mummy.
Mr. B was living in a house just below the villa while a 3-year-old girl died and was left unattended for 6 months. The child was found dead when Mr. B’s husband, who lives with Mr. B, visits his daughter’s house after receiving a call from the landlord asking him to leave the house due to the expiration of the contract. At that time, the body was in a state of decay that was difficult to recognize. At the time of discovery, the house was not heated and the area was full of garbage.
The police sent charges against Mr. A on the 19th of last month, including murder and violation of the Child Welfare Act, Child Allowance Act, and Infant Care Act. Mr. A, who met with reporters during the warrant deliberation process before Songchi, did not answer any questions about the motive of the crime. The reason the police applied the crime of murder was that even if a girl was alive at the time Mr. A moved, it was judged that the murder charge could be applied only by leaving a child in need of parental care at home alone.
In addition, it was revealed that Mr. A received both the child’s allowance and the family parenting allowance that Gumi City paid to girls by January 25th. Considering the time of the girl’s death as estimated by the police, Mr. A improperly received at least 1.2 million won.
