Suitcase murder suspect extradited to New Zealand

A 42-year-old woman has been extradited from South Korea to New Zealand, where she will appear in court on Wednesday charged with murdering two children whose remains were found in suitcases sold at auction. New Zealand police said that "three police officers travelled to South Korea to transport the woman", who arrived at Auckland Airport in the afternoon and was taken to Manukau Police Station. Seoul's justice ministry said that key evidence in the case had also been handed to New Zealand officials. "We hope that the truth of this case, which has received worldwide attention, will be revealed through a fair and strict judicial process in New Zealand," said an official in Seoul. — afp
