Miss A, a 20-month-old girl who was left in the corner of the bathroom in an ice box for more than 3 weeks in a dead state.
The 30-year-old B, who is accused of abusing and killing Miss A, was arrested by the police.
It has been three days since Miss A's maternal grandmother reported it to the police and ran away from the house barefoot.
B was living in a motel in Dong-gu, Daejeon, and it was reported that he was arrested without much resistance when the location was discovered by the police.
The police secured a statement from her mother, who had already been arrested on charges of body abandonment, that on the 15th of last month, drunk B, who died, wrapped her in a blanket and indiscriminately assaulted her and then killed her because she was whining.
It is also known that in the process, he threatened his mother and prevented him from reporting it to the police.
Mr. B, whose numerous criminal records were confirmed, such as fraud, was reported to have no crimes of the same kind, such as child abuse.
The police announced that they plan to apply for an arrest warrant for B on charges of child abuse and murder, while confirming the crime of Mr. B, who was arrested based on the testimony of his mother.
In addition, as all the suspects in this case have been arrested, we plan to investigate the exact motive for the murder of Miss A and whether there is continuous abuse.
Meanwhile, the body of Miss A is undergoing an autopsy at the National Forensic Service, and it will take some time to announce the exact cause of death and whether additional damage has occurred.
