Mother Sentenced to Life for Killing Children

A New Zealand woman, Hakyung Lee, was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering her two young children in 2018. The childrens bodies were found in suitcases in an abandoned storage locker in 2022. Lee pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and argued for a lighter sentence due to mental health issues. However, the judge rejected this and ordered a minimum non-parole period of 17 years. Lee, who had moved to South Korea after the murders, was extradited back to New Zealand to face trial. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
