The jury found 45-year-old Hakyung Lee guilty of murdering his two children in a case seen in Auckland, New Zealand. It was revealed that Lee had hidden the bodies of 6-year-old Minu Jo and 8-year-old Yuna Jo in suitcases after killing them in 2018.
The incident came to light in 2022 when the bodies of the children were found in suitcases in a warehouse in Auckland, and Lee was captured in South Korea and extradited to New Zealand.
INSANITY DEFENSE NOT ACCEPTED
Although Lee denied committing the murders during the trials, his lawyers admitted that the children were killed after being given antidepressant medication. The defense argued that their client had "gone insane" and was not of sound mind. However, the jury rejected these claims and ruled that Lee had committed the crime of murder.
HE HAD FLED AND CHANGED HIS NAME
After the murder, Lee fled to South Korea, where he changed his name to conceal his identity. However, years later, with the discovery of his children's bodies, the investigation was reopened, and the suspect was captured.
The decision of the Auckland High Court has been recorded as one of the most shocking cases in New Zealand in recent years.
