Korean man found dead in large bag in Vietnam
A Korean man has been found dead in a large bag in a residential area of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, prompting local authorities to launch an investigation, Seoul officials said Monday. The man's body was discovered on Sunday afternoon, after a security guard from a nearby building and passersby reported it to the local police as they noticed a strange smell coming from a big blue bag, according to the Korean consulate general in Ho Chi Minh City and the foreign ministry. Two men near the bag reportedly fled in a taxi as soon as people gathered around it. Vietnamese police have arrested two Koreans and are investigating them as possible suspects. "We were informed by Vietnamese police that the deceased was a Korean national. We will contact the family and provide them with consular assistance," a consulate official said. A foreign ministry official in Seoul said the consulate general is closely communicating with Vietnamese authorities regarding the case. "As the investigation is ongoing, we cannot provide further details at this stage," the official said.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
