In the beginning of this year, the bodies of two children were found in suitcase , and on Wednesday, the mother of the children appeared in a court in New Zealand charged with the killings of her children.

An investigation into a homicide was initiated by the authorities after a family in South Auckland, New Zealand, discovered human remains in bags that had been acquired through an online auction.

Earlier, the authorities speculated that the children’s ages ranged between five and ten years old, and that their deaths occurred between three and four years ago.
