A woman in her 30s has been arrested on suspicion of killing her eight-month-old son, in South Korea.
The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police said the woman is under investigation into charges of child abuse resulting in death.
Police said she had admitted to repeatedly hitting him on the head with a TV remote control on April 10.
The child was taken into a nearby hospital, Gyeonggi Province, shortly after the incident occurred.
Doctors found that the child had sustained severe head injuries, including a skull fracture, and recommended hospitalisation, but the mother refused to admit her child and took him home.
On April 13, the mother took the child back to the same hospital after finding him unconscious at home. He died the next morning.
