The local Korean community is shocked there is a likely link between the homicide of two children and a migrant from their home country.

The Associated Press is reporting a relative of two children whose bodies were found in luggage in Auckland is likely in South Korea.

An official at the National Police Agency told AP the woman is a Korean-born New Zealander in her 40s.

She arrived in South Korea in 2018 and New Zealand police suspect she could be the mother of the children found dead. Amy Williams reports.
