At approximately 6:20 a.m. today, a 25-year-old mother named Kim was arrested on suspicion of throwing her daughter from the 15th floor of this apartment complex.

The daughter, who was 6 months old, was found dead in the flower bed of the apartment.

As a result of the police investigation, it was determined that Ms. Kim committed the crime while her husband left the house during a fight.

The husband returned home, found the baby missing, and called the police.

They argued often, and it was confirmed that Mr. Kim reported domestic violence to the police the day before yesterday.
