6. Fugitive South Korean soldier captured after failed suicide attempt

A South Korean soldier who fled after allegedly killing five colleagues has been captured following a failed suicide attempt, according to the defence ministry in Seoul.

The 22-year-old sergeant surnamed Lim shot himself on the side of his abdomen. He was being taken to a nearby hospital, said a ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He gave no further details.

On Sunday, he fired at the troops chasing him, injuring a platoon leader. On Monday, officials said a South Korean soldier was wounded by suspected friendly fire.

Earlier on Monday, troops surrounded him so closely in the forest that they could throw him a mobile phone, so he could talk to his father, as well as bread and bottled water. His parents were also brought to the area to try to persuade him to turn himself in.
