Cheonan — On Tuesday, a court convened an arrest warrant hearing for a woman charged with the fatal abuse and neglect of her 11-year-old grandson. The woman is accused of causing his death at a Cheonan hospital last week, following signs of physical abuse discovered by medical staff. Upon arrival at the Cheonan branch of the Daejeon District Court, the woman remained silent when queried by reporters.
The court is set to determine whether to issue an arrest warrant for her later on the same day. Police investigators suspect the woman had repeatedly abused her grandson, who resided elsewhere at a church facility. Just three days prior to his demise, the boy visited a police station, reporting his grandmother's violent beating.
Earlier, authorities had requested a temporary restraining order against the woman due to multiple abuse allegations, but the court declined to grant the request.
