The captain and three other crew members of
the ferry that sank off South Korea last month
were indicted on charges of manslaughter
through gross negligence, Yonhap news agency
reported.
They are accused of leaving the ship as it was
sinking while telling passengers, mostly high
school students on a school excursion, to stay
where they were.
More than 280 passengers were killed in what
was the country's worst maritime accident in
more than 20 years.
The prosecution also indicted all 11 other
surviving crew members of the Sewol for
negligence.
