Woman in Gumi Sentenced to 8 Years for Switching Babies at Birth and Starving Infant to Death

This case is bizarre:

A Gumi woman, surnamed Seok, arrives at the Gimcheon branch of the Daegu District Court in Gimcheon, southeastern South Korea, on Aug. 17, 2021, to attend her hearing in a child death case. (Yonhap)

A forty-something woman, who recently made headlines in South Korea for allegedly switching her newborn infant with her daughter’s baby years ago, was sentenced to eight years in prison on Tuesday for attempting to abandon the body of her 3-year-old daughter this year and abducting her granddaughter of the same age in 2018.

The Gimcheon branch of the Daegu District Court gave the prison term to the 48-year-old woman, surnamed Seok, after convicting her on multiple charges, including baby switching and abduction.

You can read more at the link, but why would you switch the babies to just then starve what you know to be your granddaughter to death? Additionally how did her daughter not know the babies were switched? Like I said this whole thing is bizarre.

The Yonhap link shows that this prison sentence is on top of the 20 years she got for abandoning the 3-year old, causing her death.

“A forty-something woman, who recently made headlines in South Korea…”

Well, my dear Watson, let us deduce her age from the clues scattered throughout the text.

Through careful observation and detailed analysis, I have concluded she must be 48.

Rather elementary, my dear Watson.

“…gave the prison term to the 48-year-old woman…”

Go jump off a waterfall, Mycroft.
