From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm on 15 September 2022

New Zealand police are seeking the extradition of a woman in Korea, in relation to the deaths of two children whose bodies were found in suitcases in Auckland.

The 42-year-old woman was arrested early this morning, and police are intending to charge her with two counts of murder.

The children's remains were discovered last month by an Auckland family, who had bought the contents of an abandoned storage locker.
