A woman identified as “A” was arrested after she murdered her 9-month-old son by throwing him out the apartment building window. The 36-year-old woman was arrest by the Gwangju Police after a neighbor discovered her moments after she threw her baby.

According to police investigations, the woman lived with her boyfriend in an apartment in Gwangju.

A neighbor found the woman alone and found the sudden disappearance of the baby strange.

The baby was rushed to the hospital but was soon pronounced dead.

The police arrested the woman and she later confessed that she threw her baby out the window because her boyfriend wouldn’t open the door for her.

I rang the doorbell and banged on the door, but [my boyfriend] wouldn’t open the door. I got angry so I threw my baby.
