Court date ‘soon’ after extradition

The woman being held in connection with the remains of two children found in suitcases is set to appear in the Manukau District Court ‘‘soon’’, according to a coroner’s minute.

The 42-year-old will be sent to New Zealand within 30 days, the South Korean justice ministry announced on Monday night.

The coroner’s minute didn’t offer a time frame for when she would appear in court, but said the nonpublication order on the family’s details remained in place.

‘‘I intend reviewing the suppression orders made in this adjourned coronial inquiry after the defendant’s appearance in the Manukau District Court,’’ the coroner said.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said: ‘‘One of the purposes of these extradition agreements is so that we are able to smooth the path for what otherwise would be very complex situations.’’
