Guilty verdicts for the Auckland woman charged with murdering her children and leaving their bodies in suitcases

Hakyung Lee killed her eight and six-year-old in 2018, after giving them anti-depressants in what she said was a failed suicide attempt.

But claims she was insane following her husband's death failed to convince the jury.

Newstalk ZB's Emily Ansell says the verdict's in line with evidence from forensic psychiatrist Dr Erik Monasterio .

Monasterio found that there was no proof of the psychotic elements required for an insanity defence, telling the jury he believed she did not qualify.
