Couple who left newborn dead in motel trash sentenced

A young couple who left their newborn to die in a motel room and abandoned the body for days has been sentenced to seven years in prison, with an appellate court upholding the original ruling. The Gwangju High Court on Tuesday upheld the sentences of the 29-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman, both convicted of child abuse resulting in death and abandonment of a corpse.
