Frozen babies: the couple refuses to go back to Korea

The Courjaults, in their first public statement, insist they are innocent, and the victims of a “media lynching” in Seoul.

Will French justice be able to solve the “frozen babies” mystery? A French couple, expatriates in Seoul, are implicated in a scandal, whereby the bodies of two newborns were discovered late july in their freezer.

For the first time, the – according to the Korean investigators – prime suspects have accepted to participate to a press conference, at their lawyer’s offices in Tours. What we do know, Jean-Louis Courjault insisted, is that we are not the parents of these babies.

This 40 year-old engineer, living in Seoul since 2002 with his family, admits he is living a real nightmare. He summarized the case for the press: On July 23, I have discovered two newborns in the freezer at our Seoul appartment. I called the police, collaborated with them, and then was allowed to fly back to France, on schedule. On July 30, I learned that the DNA tests [LF: done in Korea] designated me as the father of the babies. On August 7 [dda’s birthday :-) ], we were told that further DNA tests implied that my wife was the mother.

In late July, Jean-Louis Courjault had to interrupt his holidays in the south of France and go back to Korea for business reasons. He informed himself the police about the discovery: two bodies, identified as males newborns, and wrapped in plastic bages, were stored in the freezer, in their Sorae Village residence. According to Korean investigators, the babies are not twins, and the death of the babies would date back eight months or more.

Since, Véronique and Jean-Louis Courjault have been protesting their innocence. We have tried several times, fruitlessly, to reach the police attaché at the Korean embassy in Paris, explains Mr. Courjault. We can’t understand the results of the DNA tests and recuse the results of this investigation. Following a preliminary investigation by Tours prosecutors, the Courjaults were interviewed as witnesses, at their request, by the police. Apart from this interview, Mr Marc Morin, their lawyer, added, the French case file is empty.

A plot with industrial motives

It is quite difficult to lift the shadows that surround this case. Véronique Courjault confirmed that she underwent an emergency procedure in Korea, in 2003, following an infection whose origin was never explained. Which explains, her husband added, why his wife couldn’t have babies during these years. According to their lawyer, anything is possible. [dda: Duuuuhhhh]. Even a plot with industrial motivations can’t be excluded, says J.L. Courjault. Employed by the local branch of an American automotive equipment company, in charge of technology transfers, in a very competitive market, this engineer could have been framed. Moreover, he adds, my unscheduled return to Korea could have interrupted someone, involved in something.” [dda: Better have some scuba diving equipment, cuz you’re deep-sea fishing m’dear]. A set of keys is said to have disappeared during their absence.

The victims of a true media lynching in Korea, and completey overwhelmed by this affait, Véronique and Jean-Louis Courjault have decided to stay in France and fight. They remain at the disposal of the French justice system, they now want to live in peace [dda: no newsies anymore, fanks], with their two children, in their Touraine residence.
