is a villa in Dong-gu, Daegu.



At around 6 pm on the 12th, a report was received by 119 that a 4-year-old child living here was not breathing.



When paramedics arrived, the child was already in cardiac arrest, and she was rushed to the hospital for intensive care, but she died three days later, on the morning of the 15th.



At the time, 119 records showed that her child had cyanosis all over her body, her head swelled up, and bruises were found on her eyes and thighs.



The first reporter was a 20-year-old mother, A, and it was confirmed that a 5-year-old and two other children under the age of five were present in the living room when the incident occurred.



The medical staff who confirmed the condition of her child reported the suspected abuse to the police.



The police found that A pushed the child hard in the living room and the child lost consciousness when he hit his head.



Police said that there are circumstances in which Mr. A abused the child who died several times for reasons such as inability to urinate, and that they are investigating whether there has been additional abuse of her other two children.



The police will reveal the exact cause of death through an autopsy of the child, and will also investigate whether there was abuse or aiding the father, who was not present at the scene.
