DAEGU, April 2 (Yonhap) -- A woman in her 20s and her husband are set to attend an arrest warrant hearing at a court Thursday on charges of murdering her mother and abandoning the body.
The husband, also in his 20s, is accused of beating his mother-in-law in her 50s to death with his hands and feet at his officetel in central Daegu, 250 kilometers southeast of Seoul, on March 18.
The couple are suspected of placing the victim's body in a suitcase and abandoning it in the city's Sincheon Stream.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at the Daegu District Court on Thursday morning and its decision is expected to be released in the afternoon.
The couple were detained Tuesday after confessing to abandoning the body.
The husband told police later that he committed the crime because his mother-in-law, who was living with the couple, was usually noisy and did not organize her belongings.
