Newborn Baby Was Placed in Freezer, Left to Die. Now Two Men are Going to Prison

On Wednesday, a South Korean judge sentenced two men to four and six years in prison, respectively, for their roles in the death of a 36-week-old baby who was delivered by caesarian section, placed in a freezer and left to die.

The mother, identified only by her surname, Kwon, received a three-year suspended jail sentence.

In January, Korea’s Supreme Prosecutors’ Office sought a 10-year prison sentence for the hospital director and six-year terms for Kwon and the surgeon who delivered the baby.
