South Korea's police chief has admitted to a "heavy responsibility" for failing to contain the deadly crush that left 156 Halloween party-goers dead in South Korea - as the incident led to widespread public outrage.
Yoon Hee-keun, the head of the National Police Agency, that crowd control at Seoul's Itaewon district was acknowledged "inadequate", noting police received multiple emergency calls before the disaster, he said at a press conference yesterday.
"I wish for a quick recovery of those who were injured and feel heavy responsibility for the people who got a huge shock," Mr Yoon said.
"In order to clearly uncover the truth and determine responsibility, we will conduct an intensive inspection and investigation into all areas in a swift and thorough manner," he added.
Mr Yoon said there were "multiple 112 emergency reports" that showed the severity of the situation. The 112 number is the country's emergency number.
