How to Use Mother in New Zealand Guilty of Suitcase Murders

As a professional skateboarder, I am compelled to share my thoughts on a recent case that has left me shaken. The trial of Hakyung Lee, a South Korean mother who was extradited to New Zealand and found guilty of murdering her two children, is a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of neglecting one's mental health.

The Case A Brief Summary

In 2022, the remains of Hakyung's children, Yuna Jo and Minu Jo, were discovered in suitcases left at a storage unit in south Auckland. The investigation revealed that the children had been deceased for three to four years prior to their bodies being found. Lee confessed to the murders but claimed she was not guilty by reason of insanity due to depression and suicidal thoughts following her husband's death in 2017.

The Trial A Search for Truth

Lee's legal team argued that she was unable to form the intent to kill, while the prosecution countered that she knew what she was doing. The jury deliberated for just two hours before finding Lee guilty of murder.

The Verdict Guilty as Charged

In his summary, Justice Geoffrey Venning emphasized the importance of separating sympathy for the victims from the evidence and urged the jury to come to their verdicts based on the facts. Lee now faces a maximum sentence of life in prison with a non-parole period of at least 10 years.

Lessons Learned The Importance of Mental Health

This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of prioritizing mental health and seeking help when needed. As athletes, we often push ourselves to be physically fit but neglect our mental well-being. Lee's story highlights the devastating consequences that can result from ignoring underlying struggles.
