'Suitcase murder' trial begins in New Zealand

The trial for the "suitcase murder" case has commenced in New Zealand. Hakyung Lee, the accused, is charged with the murder of her two young children, whose bodies were discovered stuffed inside suitcases. The case garnered significant attention due to the grisly nature of the alleged crime. Prosecutors allege that Lee killed the children and then concealed their bodies in the suitcases, which were later discovered by a family who had purchased the luggage at an auction. The trial is expected to examine the evidence and circumstances surrounding the deaths of the children. Authorities have not disclosed the specific details of the case or the possible motives, and the proceedings will likely shed more light on the events that led to this tragic incident. The case has raised concerns about child welfare and the need for better support systems to prevent such tragedies from occurring. The outcome of the trial will be closely watched, as it may have implications for the legal system's response to similar cases in the future.
