A white skeleton body was found in a villa in Incheon, and the police started an investigation.
The Incheon Namdong Police Station announced that it is investigating the emergency arrest of a 47-year-old woman, A, for allegedly neglecting her deceased mother's body (abandoning the body).
A is accused of leaving the body of 79-year-old B, presumed to be his mother, in the master bedroom of a villa in Ganseok-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon.
The police went to the house at 10:19 pm the previous day after receiving a report from Mr. B's fourth daughter that "I came home because I couldn't get in touch with her mother, but her sister, who lives with her, doesn't open the door." .
The body was covered with a blanket at the time, and Mr. A was with him in the house.
It is understood that Mr. A, the third daughter of four daughters, lived alone with her mother.
The police found a memo at home that said, "My mother died in August 2020," and requested an autopsy of the body to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation to determine the exact time and cause of death.
A police official said, "We are also verifying the exact identity of the body," and "we are investigating the specific circumstances against Mr. A."
