Police have decided to perform an autopsy on the child's body to determine the cause of death of a three-year-old child who died of abuse by his stepmother.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced that it will request an autopsy from the National Institute of Scientific Investigation to determine the exact cause of death of a 3-year-old child who was beaten and killed by his stepmother A.
Mr. A was arrested the day before (20th) on the charge of beating his stepson to death for 'not listening'.
When police arrived, bruises and abrasions were found on the victim's body.
According to police investigations, the child suffered trauma to his thigh and back last year, and this year, it is said that he underwent surgery to put on a cast or sew a head wound.
The police plan to investigate the circumstances and background of the victim's death from various angles, and comprehensively investigate whether the father took part in the abuse.
