Man tending graves 'started South Korea's worst wildfires'
The Guardian
|March 31, 2025
Police are investigating a man suspected of accidentally igniting the worst wildfires in South Korean history while cleaning the graves of his grandparents.
Fanned by high winds and dry conditions, more than a dozen huge blazes have killed 30 people and destroyed more than 48,000 hectares (118,610 acres) of forest.
A police official in Uiseong, a county in the badly hit province of North Gyeongsang, said the 56-year-old suspect was arrested on 22 March.
The man's daughter reportedly told investigators that he had used a cigarette lighter to burn branches hanging over his family's graves.
