11億円分の覚醒剤を密輸した疑い 関空の手荷物では過去最大の量
A 60-year-old church pastor in South Korea has been arrested on suspicion of child murder after an 11-year-old child died at a local hospital. The child had been brought to a university hospital in Chungnam province after exhibiting symptoms of high fever and loss of consciousness. Sadly, the child passed away on February 6th at 12:02 AM after being unresponsive for over three hours.
Police were investigating the pastor based on several reasons, including the finding of a bump on the child's body, rope marks on the child's wrists and ankles, and two previous reports of child abuse filed in January. The child had mostly grown up in the church, with only a few months spent in the hospital. The pastor's 50-year-old mother-in-law is also under arrest for allegedly mistreating the child, with three previous reports of abuse filed, including one where the child reported being beaten by her.
Police are also investigating another adult who lived with the family. Since 2021, there have been four reports of suspected child abuse concerning the child, but previous actions to separate the child from the alleged abuser were not taken, and a restraining order against the mother-in-law was dismissed by the court. The child was returned to the church, and police found the child had been restrained for about 38 hours.
Chungnam Child Protection Office director Kim Ho stated that they have arrested the pastor while continuing to investigate if there are additional suspects and that they will continue the investigation of the pastor and his church until it is concluded. They plan to form a checking team headed by a safety enforcement officer to ensure similar cases do not occur again and thoroughly examine the issues of safety and possible improvements.
