A woman was arrested in South Korea on Thursday on two murder charges from New Zealand, where the bodies of two long-dead children were found last month in abandoned suitcases. 

South Korean police detained the woman in the southeastern port city of Ulsan, based on a South Korean court warrant issued after New Zealand requested her provisional arrest as part of an extradition process. Last month,the children's bodies were discovered after a New Zealand family bought abandoned goods, including two suitcases, from a storage unit in Auckland in an online auction.The children were between 5 and 10 years old, had been dead for a number of years, and the suitcases had been in storage for at least three or four years, according to police.Authorities didn't immediately say if the 42-year-old suspect was the dead children's mother.
