Korean president likens Sewol captain's actions to 'murder'─── 12:25 Mon, 21 Apr 2014
Seoul - South Korean President Park Geun-hye today likened the actions of the captain and some crew members of the sunken ferry Sewol to murder, as police made more four arrests and divers continued searching the submerged vessel.
CNN reports captain Lee Joon-seok is already facing a series of criminal charges for his role in last week's sinking, in which at least 65 people have died and 237 others remain missing.
Many of them are students and teachers on a field trip from a high school near Seoul.
Park said she and other South Koreans were filled with "rage and horror" and that "the actions of the captain and some of the crew are absolutely unacceptable, unforgivable actions that are akin to murder".
The latest arrests of crew members bring the total number detained to seven as authorities investigate what went wrong on the ship as it sailed toward a popular holiday island.
