About this episode
In early August, it was first reported that human remains had been discovered inside suitcases purchased by a Manurewa family.
A few weeks later, the tragic news came from Police that these were the bodies of two children, and that an international manhunt was underway to find those believed responsible.
Last week, a 42-year-old woman was arrested in South Korea, understood to be the children’s mother.
So how did this horrific case unfold, and now that there’s been an arrest, how soon until justice is served for these young victims?
Today, NZ Herald reporter Tom Dillane joins Damien to discuss the case that has shocked the nation.
