S Korea ferry crew indicted for manslaughter

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.
