A court in Seoul on Friday approved New Zealand's request for the extradition of a mother suspected of murdering two children whose bodies were discovered in suitcases in Auckland, leaving South Korea's justice minister to make the final decision.
The 42-year-old Korean born woman, whose name was withheld, is suspected of fleeing to South Korea in 2018 after killing her children, aged 7 and 10.
She denied the murder allegations when she was arrested in September in the South Korean city of Ulsan after global police agency Interpol issued a red notice.
