The couple allegedly strangled their son and abandoned his corpse at a nearby river in Geoje, South Gyeongsang province.
This is the latest in a series of shocking child abuse or infanticide cases after the government launched an investigation to check on the well-being of more than 2,000 undocumented babies born since 2015, following the discovery of two unregistered newborns in a home refrigerator in June.
The Changwon District Court ordered the warrant, as there was a high possibility of the couple fleeing. The couple initially claimed that the baby was found dead the day after being discharged. They also claimed that they had buried the body themselves, as they were financially strapped and could not afford cremation.
The Goseong county government found out the couple had not registered the birth of the infant and reported the child’s disappearance to the police last Thursday.
