Woman linked to bodies in suitcases could be extradited

From Morning Report, 8:19 am on 24 August 2022

law expert believes the extradition of a woman in South Korea linked to the two children found dead in suitcases would be relatively straightforward - if it meets the criteria.

An Auckland family made the grisly discovery of the childrens' remains earlier this month after buying the contents of an abandoned storage unit in an online auction.

South Korean police say the woman, a Korean-born New Zealander in her 40s, arrived in the country in 2018, but there has been no record of her departure since.
