A woman in her 20s who killed her baby by drowning it in the toilet after giving birth has been arrested by police.

It was also revealed that the woman had purchased her abortion pills a week before her attack.



Jeonju Deokjin Police Station in Jeonbuk Province announced today (3rd) that they are investigating a woman in her 20s who killed a baby after taking abortion pills on charges of infanticide.



A is accused of causing a baby boy born at 32 weeks of pregnancy to drown in the toilet for about 23 minutes in the bathroom of his home in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju on the 8th of January at around 7 pm.



At that time, Mr. A directly called 911 and reported, "The baby was born, but he is not breathing." The baby was rushed to the hospital and died within minutes.



The police, who received the case, decided that the cause of the baby's death was questionable, and confiscated Mr. A's cell phone, etc.



At first, during the police investigation, Mr. A denied the crime, saying, "I was going to the toilet and a child was born earlier than the expected date, and he died."



However, the police determined that A deliberately killed the baby based on the doctor's opinion and the circumstances in which the abortion pill was purchased.



After the police interrogation continued, Mr. A finally admitted to the crime, saying, "After giving birth, I waited without taking the baby out of the toilet until he stopped breathing."



As a result of the police investigation, Mr. A was living with a man who was in a common-law relationship, and found out that he was pregnant last year, and then decided to have an abortion.



A went to the hospital, but when the operation was refused due to the large number of weeks of pregnancy, she purchased an abortion pill on the Internet and took it about a week before the crime.



Since the sale of abortion pills is illegal, the police are tracking the route where A purchased the drug and are chasing the seller as well.



A police official said, "The mother was arrested after seeing that the baby was intentionally killed."
