JAKARTA - A woman believed to be the mother of two children whose body was found in a suitcase in New Zealand last month, was arrested in South Korea on Thursday, police said.
The woman, known as a New Zealander from Korea in her 40s, was arrested in an apartment in Ulsan, 307 kilometers southeast of Seoul, the National Police Agency said.
Local police have tracked the woman at the request of New Zealand police, after the remains of two children believed to have been killed in 2018 aged 7 and 10 years, were found on August 11 in a suitcase purchased by a resident of Auckland, New Zealand, in an auction.
While citing Reuters, the woman allegedly fled to South Korea in 2018 after killing her children, authorities said.
New Zealand police then launched a search, after treating the woman as the mother of two and the suspect in their murder.
The woman who was born in Ginseng Country is said to have obtained New Zealand citizenship, after moving there and her husband who had died from there.
Police plan to move the woman to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office in preparation for an examination of a possible extradition by the Seoul High Court.
