Police on Tuesday said they are investigating a mother accused of burying an unregistered baby in Busan.
The case was discovered as local authorities launched a complete inspection into “ghost babies” and requested police involvement.
The mother told the police that she disposed of her dead baby’s body on a mountain near her home in February 2015, according to Busan Metropolitan Police Agency.
Police will search for the body as early as Wednesday.
