A New Zealand court has sentenced the mother who killed her two children and hid their bodies in suitcases to life behind bars. High Court judge Geoffrey Venning sentenced Hakyung Lee, a New Zealander of Korean origin, to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years, in a case that shocked the country and became known as the suitcase murders.

New Zealand suitcase murders: Mother who killed her children, stuffed their bodies in storage sentenced to life imprisonment

In New Zealand, a mother of two was found guilty on Tuesday (Sep 23) of killing her children and stashing their bodies in suitcases. Announcing the ruling in the high-profile case that came to be known as the ‘New Zealand suitcase murders’ and drew international attention, the prosecutor in her summary noted that the woman Hakyung Lee, "in sound mind, deliberately murdered" her children, eight-year-old Yuna Jo and six-year-old Minu Jo, before stuffing their corpses into suitcases.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-tells-pregnant-women-to-tough-it-out-without-paracetamol-claims-amish-have-no-autism-because-they-lack-tylenol-1758589438052">Trump tells pregnant women to ‘tough it out’ without paracetamol, claims Amish have ‘no autism’ because they lack Tylenol</a><h2>The chilling murders</h2>Hakyung Lee, 45, a New Zealand citizen originally from South Korea, was extradited from Seoul in 2022 after the remains of her children, Yuna and Minu Jo, were discovered in a storage unit in South Auckland.

They pointed to Lee’s efforts to conceal the bodies, her decision to leave the country, and steps she had taken to distance herself from her previous life — including changing her name and severing ties with New Zealand — as evidence that she knew her actions were wrong. “Ms Lee deliberately, and in sound mind, deliberately murdered Minu and Yuna,” prosecutor Natalie Walker said in her closing statement, calling for a verdict of guilty.After just two hours of deliberation, the jury at Auckland High Court returned guilty verdicts. Justice Geoffrey Venning acknowledged the natural sympathy jurors might feel for the children and, separately, for Lee herself, but emphasised the importance of basing the verdict on evidence.Lee now faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years.

Mother of two found guilty of killing children in New Zealand’s chilling ‘suitcase murders’ case

Trigger warning: Some readers may find the details of this report disturbing. Discretion is advised. In the United States' Indianapolis, a mother of seven children has been arrested for allegedly trying to pimp out her baby for sex in exchange for $400. The woman, identified as 32-year-old Morgan Stapp, as per reports, sent a Snapchat message to an unidentified man offering him an opportunity to sexually assault her 7-month-old daughter in exchange for the money. She reportedly told him that he would have to pay half the amount before raping the infant and half after. She was arrested for her crime on July 8 and has been released since then on a bail bond of $100,000. Furthermore, she was charged with child sex trafficking (attempt to commit), a level 2 felony. If convicted, she faces a fixed sentence of 10 to 30 years in prison.<h2>What happened?</h2>As per reports, on 1 November 2024, the mother of seven tried to facilitate a sexual relation between a man on Snapchat and her seven-month-old daughter. As per information from a probable cause affidavit filed in the case, she allegedly messaged a man indicating that he could sexually assault the little girl in exchange for $400. "U can (expletive) her for 400$. Half now, rest after. I'll send my address I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture," the alleged message read, as reported by People.The message was flagged by Snapchat, and authorities intervened. 10 days after the message was sent, FBI agents met with Stapp at her residence in Indianapolis. The mother denied sending the alarming message and allegedly claimed that her account, username 'morgan-stapp' had been hacked. She also told agents that she had received an email saying her Snapchat account has been permanently banned due to "online commercial transactions".However, after a search warrant was obtained in the horrifying case, it was discovered that Strapp not only still had access to the account, but she had also clicked and saved images of herself in the app gallery. Agents also found that she had sent over 7,000 messages between Oct 29 and November 1, including 81 that reportedly said: "Would you be interested in buying my nudes so I can get baby diapers".&nbsp;

France police have detained 12 suspects after 145 people were targeted in "syringe attacks". On Saturday (Jun 21), millions of people took to the streets in the evening to participate in this year's 'Fête de la Musique,' with authorities reporting "unprecedented crowds" in Paris. However, this year's beloved annual street music festival turned unsettling after dozens of festival goers reported being pricked with syringes in crowded public spaces. This has prompted a nationwide investigation and a wave of arrests. Here's what we know so far about the "syringe attacks".<h2>What happened?</h2>According to French authorities, 145 people across the country said they were stabbed or pricked with needles during Saturday night's festivities.The Fête de la Musique draws millions into the streets each June to celebrate live music. This year, officials reported a sharp spike in disturbing reports from attendees.The victims of these "syringe attacks" included both men and women. In Paris, at least 13 cases were recorded, including a 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man who reported feeling unwell after being stabbed in separate incidents.<h2>Were drugs involved?</h2>At this stage, officials haven’t confirmed whether the syringe attacks involved date drugs or substances like GHB or Rohypnol — used by predators to incapacitate and rape victims.Some individuals were taken to the hospital for toxicology tests, said the interior ministry, but no public toxicology results had been released at the time this report was published.As per AFP, ahead of the festival, social media posts had circulated calling for women to be targeted, which hints at the possibility that at least some attacks may have been premeditated.<h2>Who was arrested?</h2>So far, twelve people have been arrested across France in connection with the attacks. Among them, four suspects in Angoulême — a city in the southwest — are believed to have targeted around 50 victims, reports AFP citing police sources.Outside of the syringe-related cases, more than 370 people were arrested nationwide during the festival for various offences, including nearly 90 people in Paris.<h2>Was anyone seriously hurt?</h2>None of the victims of the "syringe attacks" are being reported as being seriously hurt. &nbsp;However, outside of that, 14 people were seriously injured during the night's celebrations.&nbsp; One of the most concerning cases involved a 17-year-old who was found on the street with stab wounds to the lower abdomen and was hospitalised.Thirteen police officers were also injured during crowd control and other incidents.

Love, lies, and betrayal: Father spends 5 years in jail, after being falsely accused of rape by own daughter

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a US woman who killed her abusive mother after conspiring with an online boyfriend, has been released early from prison on parole. She is now 32.&nbsp;

Her boyfriend was identified as Nicholas Godejohn.&nbsp;

Blanchard remained the centre of one of the most infamous true-crime cases in the past 15 years - a case that not just gripped the nation, but the entire world.&nbsp;

For years, her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, forced her to pretend that she was suffering from leukaemia, muscular dystrophy and other serious illnesses. In a way, she had kept her daughter prisoner, forcing her to use a wheelchair and feeding tube.&nbsp;

Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/chinas-surge-in-pet-surgeries-to-resemble-mickey-mouse-ears-raises-alarms-674446">Concerns mount as China witnesses surge in pet surgeries to mimic 'Mickey Mouse ears'</a>&nbsp;

Blanchard killed her mother in 2015 in Missouri. She had pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder.&nbsp;

As quoted by media outlets, Karen Pojmann, who is a spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Corrections, said that Blanchard was released early in the day from the Chillicothe correctional centre. Pojmann said that she was granted parole after serving 85 per cent of her original sentence.&nbsp;

Blanchard gave a knife to her online boyfriend, who had fled the scene.&nbsp;

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a US woman who killed her abusive mother after conspiring with an online boyfriend, has been released early from prison on parole. She is now 32.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a US woman who killed her abusive mother after conspiring with an online boyfriend, has been released early from prison on parole. She is now 32. Her boyfriend was identified as Nicholas Godejohn. Blanchard remained the centre of one of the most infamous true-crime cases in the past 15 years - a case that not just gripped the nation, but the entire world. For years, her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, forced her to pretend that she was suffering from leukaemia, muscular dystrophy and other serious illnesses. In a way, she had kept her daughter prisoner, forcing her to use a wheelchair and feeding tube.

As quoted by media outlets, Karen Pojmann, who is a spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Corrections, said that Blanchard was released early in the day from the Chillicothe correctional centre. Pojmann said that she was granted parole after serving 85 per cent of her original sentence. Blanchard gave a knife to her online boyfriend, who had fled the scene.

The strange case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who conspired to kill her abusive mother. She is now released

Almost a decade after the brutal killings of more than a dozen women shocked the world, a New York-based architect has been charged with the long-unsolved Long Island serial killings.

59-year-old Rex Heuermann, who is the prime suspect in the murders that happened between 1996 and 2011, has been described by the police as a "demon" and a "predator".

Here's all you need to know about the Long Island serial killings.

<h2>The "Gilgo Four"</h2>

In 2010, the Suffolk County police were searching along Ocean Parkway for Shannan Gilbert, a 24-year-old sex worker who vanished from New Jersey. During the search, the missing persons bureau's Officer John Mallia along with his trained cadaver dog 'Blue' stumbled upon the remains of four women in their 20s.

Police concluded that the women found near Gilgo Beach, Long Island were sex workers who used to advertise their services on Craigslist. The bodies, as per an NBC report were found approximately 500 feet (150 m) from each other.

They were later identified as Amber Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Maureen Brainard-Barnes. In 2015, the body of a fifth woman, an escort, was found.

In total, since 2010, as per AFP, the bodies of at least 11 people — including three unidentified victims — have been found along the isolated stretch of the ocean beachfront on Long Island.

While earlier the police said that they didn't believe all the killings were linked, this soon changed.

Prosecutors concluded that the women are the victims of a serial killer, who would infamously come to be known as the Long Island Serial Killer, the Gilgo Beach Killer or the Craigslist Ripper. The killings would also be the subject of a 2020 Netflix film called Lost Girls.

<h2>The victims</h2>

Maureen Brainard-Barnes, one of the Gilgo Four was a 25-year-old mother of two, who worked as a paid escort via Craigslist. She disappeared on July 9, 2007, her body was discovered in December 2010.

Melissa Barthelemy, a 24-year-old, was also working as an escort via Craigslist. She went missing on July 12, 2009. Soon after her disappearance, her teenage sister Amanda started receiving a series of calls from Melissa's phone. The "vulgar, mocking, and insulting" calls were made by a man who told the teenager her sister was dead and that he was going to "watch her rot".

The third victim of the Gilgo Four 22-year-old Megan Waterman went missing on June 6, 2010.

Amber Lynn Costello, 27, was a sex worker and a heroin user who went missing on 2nd September 2010. Her family initially believed that she was in a residential drug rehabilitation centre and thus she was not reported missing immediately.

Valerie Mack, also known as Melissa Taylor, went missing in 2000 while working as an escort in Philadelphia. Her partial remains were discovered in Manorville in 2000, and additional body parts were found in 2011. She wasn't identified till 2020.

Jessica Taylor went missing in 2003 in Manhattan. Her dismembered torso was discovered in Manorville later that year, and further remains were found in 2011.

Unidentified Victims:

"Peaches" a murder victim whose dismembered torso was found in Hempstead Lake State Park in 1997. In 2011, additional remains were discovered near Jones Beach State Park, and they were later identified as belonging to "Jane Doe No. 3." DNA analysis connected "Peaches" and "Jane Doe No. 3," and it was determined that "Peaches" was also the mother of a toddler known as "Baby Doe." The skeletal remains of the female toddler were found near the remains of Valerie Mack.

The body of a young Asian male was discovered at Gilgo Beach in 2011. The victim had died from blunt-force trauma and was found wearing women's clothing. He may have been a transgender woman. The victim remains unidentified.

A human skull and teeth were found at Tobay Beach in 2011 and were connected through DNA testing to a set of severed legs found on Fire Island in 1996. The victim, known as "Jane Doe No. 7," had a surgical scar on her left leg and also remains unidentified.

<h2>Modus operandi</h2>

As per US District Attorney Ray Tierney, the bodies of the first four victims "were found similarly positioned, bound in a similar fashion by either belts or tape, with three of the victims found wrapped in a burlap-type material."

Autopsies of the victims as per LongIsland.com revealed that they had died of strangulation.

"For each of the murders he got an individual burner phone and used that to communicate with the victims," Tierney said. "Then, shortly after the death of the victims, he would get rid of the burner phone." As per Tierney, Heuermann would allegedly commit the murders when his wife and children were out of town.

<h2>A "demon"</h2>

Talking to reporters, Suffolk County police commissioner Rodney Harrison said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Rex Heuermann is a demon that walks among us — a predator that ruined families."

As per US District Attorney Tierney, the suspect Heuermann was tied to the murders through multiple pieces of evidence — DNA evidence found on a discarded pizza box, cellphone data linking him to the victims, and a sighting of his vehicle at the home of one of the Long Island serial killing victims.

In addition, as per AFP, the suspect also performed hundreds of searches about the investigation into the murders, looking up questions like "Why hasn't the Long Island serial killer been caught?"

Police also found "a lot of torture porn, and what you would consider depictions of women being abused, being raped and being killed" on Heuermann's computer, revealed the US District Attorney. It was also discovered that Heuermann made "taunting calls" to the sister of one of the victims.

Explained: Long Island serial killings, and the 'predator that ruined families'

In November 2016, a Californian woman Sherri Papini claimed that she was kidnapped. After three weeks, she reappeared almost 200 miles away from where she was last seen.&nbsp;

However, the case grabbed international media attention when reports emerged that she had staged everything.&nbsp;

National law enforcement experts said that there were several discrepancies and inconsistencies in the alleged abduction. &nbsp;

The case again resurfaced this year in March when she was arrested on charges of making false statements to the country's law enforcement officers and mail fraud.&nbsp;

The prosecutors said that she was apparently staying with her boyfriend in Costa Mesa during the period she claimed she had been kidnapped and remained missing. She had told officers that she had been kidnapped by two Hispanic women.&nbsp;

William Portanova, who is her attorney, now confirmed that Papini has signed a plea agreement Tuesday (April 12) morning in which she will plead guilty to the above-mentioned counts.&nbsp;

"We are taking this case in an entirely new direction. Everything that has happened before today stops today," said Portanova to the Sacramento Bee.&nbsp;

Papini said in her statement: "I am deeply ashamed of myself for my behaviour and so sorry for the pain I've caused my family, my friends, all the good people who needlessly suffered because of my story and those who worked so hard to try to help me. I will work the rest of my life to make amends for what I have done."&nbsp;

In 2020, authorities accused Papini of lying to authorities during the interview despite the fact that FBI agents warned her in advance that lying to the FBI is a crime.&nbsp;

Curious case of Sherri Papini: She said she was kidnapped, but all of it was staged

In a shocking incident, a 26-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the murder of her two-month-old daughter. The police on Tuesday (March 22) said that the body of the baby was found inside a microwave oven in the Chirag Dilli region of India's capital, New Delhi.&nbsp;

As per the police statement, the accused woman has been identified as Dimple, a resident of Chirag Dilli. She was found unconscious in her house on Monday.&nbsp;

The body of her infant daughter was found inside an oven on the second floor of the house. The initial report didn't reveal much but the police have said that the woman has been giving inconsistent statements since her arrest, becoming a key suspect in the baby's death.&nbsp;

Deputy Commissioner of Police (south) Benita Mary Jaiker said, "She [the woman] seems to be disturbed." Jaiker added that she has been interrogated twice, Monday night and Tuesday morning.&nbsp;

Revealing further about the case, Jaiker said, "We received a missing report of a child on Monday around 4.30 pm (local time)."&nbsp;

"When our staff reached the house of the family, it was revealed that the infant had been found and shifted to Madan Mohan Malaviya Hospital. We reached the hospital. There we were told she was declared brought dead," she added.&nbsp;

The post mortem of the child was conducted on Tuesday. Prima facie, the doctors have conjectured that the child was smothered, and might have died a day earlier, and not Monday when she was found.

But, Jaiker said, the exact cause of death can only be ascertained after the post mortem report. The infant had injury marks on her body when she was found, she said.

"It is clearly found that the victim was in her mother's custody. All circumstantial evidence point towards the mother. We have no reason to believe that she was not involved," Jaiker said.&nbsp;

As of now, no other person has been found involved in the incident. The body was put inside the oven in order to hide it from others, police said.
