Captain in S. Korean ferry disaster arrested
The captain of a sunken South Korean ferry was arrested Saturday on suspicion of negligence and abandoning passengers in need. Investigators are looking into whether his evacuation order came too late to save lives.
Two crew members were also arrested, a prosecutor said.
The disaster three days ago left more than 270 people missing and at least 29 people dead.
The tragedy took another victim Friday when the vice principal of the high school whose students were among the passengers was found hanged, an apparent suicide.
