On November 16, the Kyunggido police announced that they have arrested a 30-year-old woman who strangled and killed her own 21-month-old daughter.

In the police interview, the woman reportedly stated, "I felt like if I didn't kill my own daughter, someone else would've." 

Recent studies have shown that 1 out of 10 new mothers in Korea become depressed after giving birth. However, those who get professional help are rare, and these cases of mothers harming their own babies are alarming the Korean society.
