Police continue to investigate the deaths that have rocked New Zealand since the bodies were found in two suitcases two weeks ago.
It took, for this shocking discovery, for a family to purchase a trailer loaded with items sold in bulk at a warehouse.
According to the police, the children died between the ages of five and ten.
New Zealand police say the family behind the discovery has nothing to do with the deaths of the two children.
Police in Seoul, South Korea, said on Monday they had found a woman believed to be a relative of the two dead children there.
Seoul police said she arrived in South Korea in 2018 and there is no indication that she has left the area since then.
