Dark details about the “real killing” that was revealed in court

The bodies of two young children who were discovered in New Zealand bags-bit after their murder by their mother-have had traces of antidepressant drugs.

Hawkung Lee, 44, is tried in the Auckland Court for allegations that she had killed her eight-year-old children and a six-year-old-and their bodies were hidden in a storage facility.

Children’s remains were discovered inside the bags by a family that bought the contents of the volume at an auction in 2022.

Prosecutor Natalie Walker told the court on Tuesday that the effects of antidepressants were later found in the chest cavity and the liver of both Yona and Mino.

The drug should not be given to children, and in excessive dose cases it can cause seizures, drowsiness or death.

Mrs. Li Nortriptyline was described as a trial in 2017 after she told the doctor that she was facing a sleep problem and felt dizzy after her husband’s cancer was diagnosed.

She acknowledged that she was not guilty of two murder charges, but she accepts that she had caused the death of her children.

The prosecution told jury that she also accepted that after they died in three plastic bags, they put them in bags of stamping with adhesive tape, and took them to a storage center where they left them for four years.

Prosecutors also claim that Mrs. Lee changed her name, and a month after her children were killed and their bodies were hidden, she flew into Seoul on a business seat.

She was arrested in Ulsan, South Korea in September 2022 after Interpol issued a global red notice of her, and was handed over to New Zealand in November of that year.

On Tuesday, the court also listened to the horrific details on how to discover the bodies of children.

On August 10, 2022, two audience members won an auction and paid $ 401 from New Zealand (175 pounds; $ 238) for the abandoned storage cabinet of Lady, which was full of home appliances including bicycles, clothes and two rights.

When loading these bags on its seat the next day, the buyer noticed an unusual smell-similar to “the smell of dead mice”-and after their arrival at home, cut into wrapped bags and covered with plastic with a knife.

Inside, several black plastic bags were tightly linked inside each other. Inside those bodies of two children – one in each bag – was later identified as Yona and Mino.

An autopsy decided that there was no sign of a shock to the bodies of children, such as broken bones, although it was clear that they were killed by someone else.

A pathology specialist found that they passed away by murder by unlimited means, including the use of Northbate.

The court heard that Mrs. Lee took her prescription for the drug from a pharmacy in August 2017 – five months after her husband Ian Joe diagnosed cancer.

In the period before the death of Mr. Joe in November 2017, Mrs. Li suggested on several occasions that she and the children also die if he did, according to propaganda. It is claimed that Mrs. Li’s mother was remembered on the phone, saying that she would die if Mr. Joe died.

On another occasion, it was claimed that Mrs. Lee wrote a letter to her husband, saying, “If she dies, I will die with our children.”

And while on a vacation in Australia after the death of Mr. Joe, it was claimed that Mrs. Lee told a friend that she wished that the plane would have crashed so that she and her children could have died together. The prosecution told the court that Mrs. Lee said that she would have grieved if her children died instead of her husband.

Defense lawyer, Lauren Smith, told the court that the “descending” of Mrs. Lee in madness, “killing her two children, when Mr. Joe died. Before that, the defense said, they were” a happy little family. “

After Mr. Joe was accepted in the intensive care unit and then tilted care, Mrs. Li began to “collapse” and thought it was better if they all died together.

The defense claims that Mrs. Lee also took antidepressants when she gave her to her children, but she made a mistake in the dose – and when she woke up, her children died.

“She killed her children, but she is not guilty of murder because of madness,” said Smith.

With the opening of the trial on Monday, Judge Jeffrey Fing told the jury that the case is likely to be determined “whether the children were killed, while the children were killed, it was crazy.”

Mrs. Lee is a New Zealand citizen who was born in South Korea.

Its trial is expected to continue up to four weeks.
