A Filipina bartender in South Korea is facing charges of having killed a 3-year-old boy left in her care by a U.S. soldier in September.
Jamaica Eblacas, 30, in her first appearance at the Pyeongtaek branch of Suwon District Court in South Korea, told a judge that she killed Noa Calhoun, 3, the son of Army Pvt. James and Kourtney Calhoun.
She admitted to the crime before Chief Judge Kim Seyong. The Calhouns were present in court.

James Calhoun is assigned to the 61st Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Company at nearby Camp Humphreys.
Eblacas has been charged with murder in conjunction with child abuse. The crime carries a minimum sentence of three years in prison and a maximum penalty of death.
The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation for Eblacas later this month.

James Calhoun left Noa and his 7-year-old brother in Eblacas’ care in Pyeongtaek City the night of Sept. 5. Calhoun expected to pick his children up the next morning before police discovered the boy’s bruised body in a home near the bar where Eblacas worked.
Calhouns’ older son was found outside the home crying and telling neighbors, “My younger brother appears dead.” (AW)
