It will happen within the week after the Justice Ministry approves it, which will happen because she agreed to the transfer,” the spokesperson said, adding that the suspect had “consented to the extradition in writing”. When asked by reporters whether she would confess to the killings, the woman repeatedly said “I didn’t do it” as she was led into a police vehicle.
