Officials said
prosecutors have indicted 15 crew members — four of them on homicide charges —
over last month’s ferry disaster in South Korea.
The
indictment was filed on Thursday on 15th May, 2014 in Gwangju
District Court. The trial date will be decided in a few days.
Prosecutors
said they brought homicide charges against the ship’s captain and three other
crew members because they failed to carry out their duties to protect the
ship’s passengers.
Eleven
other crew members were indicted for alleged negligence and abandoning
passengers in need.
The
15 crew members, all involved in the ship’s navigation, were the first group of
people rescued when the Sewol was listing badly.
