I condemn my mother to kill her two children

A mother in New Zealand was convicted of killing her two children and hiding their bodies in bags, in a high -level case that shocked the country.

Honong Li, 44, was convicted of death in the The Supreme Court of Auckland on Tuesday, after a trial It lasted about two weeks. She had acknowledged that she was not guilty.

Lee’s lawyers argued that she was crazy at the time of the murder, which occurred months after her husband’s death was due to cancer. But the prosecutors argued that their actions were calculated.

The remains of her children were discovered in 2022 by a family that bought the contents of an abandoned storage unit at an auction in Auckland.

It is believed that the bodies have been stored there for several years.

Li was arrested in Ulsan, South Korea, in September 2022 and was handed over to New Zealand later that year.

It is scheduled to be sentenced to me in November. She was facing a prison sentence in prison.
