Those articles show one common pattern: An ethnic Korean woman and her ethinc Korean husband were arrested by the local police. The woman murdered her little kid, and she served the bleeding liver to her husband or father-in-law who had been suffering from a Hansen's disease. Back then many Koreans believed that sickness falls on them because they neglected their filial piety to the family or ancestors, and the grudge-ful spirits would haunt the descendants. The desperate leprosy diseased ones hung on a common belief that eating a fresh liver would cure leprosy particuraly when the liver was derived from a pious heart and mind.
