By Jung Min-ho


A wanted list including alleged murderers, rapists and robbers in Korea has been revealed.

On the first day of 2020, Gyeonggi Bukbu Provincial Police Agency issued a list of 20 high-risk fugitives, including Cho Kyu-seok, 60, a murder suspect.

Cho, who is 170 centimeters tall and speaks in Jeolla dialect, is suspected of kidnapping and killing a businessman, 56, with two accomplices at Gwangju in May.

His body was found at a parking lot near the Yangju City Hall on May 21. There were bruises all over his body and many bones were broken, police said.

The other two were later arrested and sentenced to 12 and five years in prison, respectively, last month.

Rewards will be offered to those who report critical information on the whereabouts of the fugitives.
