[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] A woman in her 40s who killed her disabled daughter by beating her has been arrested by the police.
On the 16th, the Jangheung Police Station in Jeonnam announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant for A (44) on charges of causing death by injury after beating her daughter with a blunt weapon.
A is accused of repeatedly hitting her biological daughter B (22) with a blunt weapon at their home in Jangheung-gun around 3:30 p.m. on the 14th, causing her death.
It was investigated that A committed this act in a fit of anger because B "did not listen well" while A was teaching her Korean language studies.
During the police investigation, A reportedly stated, "My daughter has an intellectual disability. I punished her physically because she did not follow the education well."
The police are specifically verifying whether the deceased daughter B had a disability and are also checking if there are any signs that A had abused B in the past.
Additionally, counseling and investigation requests have been made to a child protection agency regarding A's three other children.
