A guilty verdict 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.
"Who found that there was no proof of any psychotic elements required for that defence, so therefore, he told the jury that he believed she didn't qualify - and that is an opinion they clearly took on board."
