Between June and July 2018, Ms Lee is alleged to have murdered her two children by giving them an overdose of her prescription medicine. She allegedly hid the bodies in suitcases which were stored along with her other property in a storage garage. Ms Lee changed her name and flew to South Korea in July 2018, remaining there until 2022. Ms Lee made a number of suicide attempts and in between March and July 2022 was admitted to a mental health facility in South Korea for self-harm reasons.
