Daegu: 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 hearing is scheduled to begin at the Daegu District Court on Thursday morning, with a decision expected to be released in the afternoon.

According to Yonhap News Agency, 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, approximately 250 kilometers southeast of Seoul, on March 18. The couple allegedly placed the victim's body in a suitcase and abandoned it in the city's Sincheon Stream.

The couple were detained Tuesday after confessing to abandoning the body. The husband later told police 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.
