 On February 8, 2021, an incident occurred in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, where an 8-year-old girl died as a result of abuse by her aunt and uncle. The victim's biological mother divorced her husband and left her daughter (the victim) in the care of her aunt and her husband, who lived in their apartment in Gorim-dong, Chaein-gu, since around December 2020.

Some of the assault tools seized at the scene were beyond the pale. It was an object made l
