A court in South Korea on Friday approved the extradition of a woman charged with murder in New Zealand over the deaths of two children, whose bodies were found in suitcases in Auckland.

The High Court in Seoul made the decision after the 42-year-old woman gave her written consent to be extradited to New Zealand, Yonhap News Agency reported. The court has yet to confirm her extradition date.
