|January 21, 2024
SEOUL (AFP) - Seoul's chief of police has been charged with professional negligence over the deadly 2022 Halloween crush that killed nearly 160 people, prosecutors in the South Korean capital said.
-
On Oct. 29, 2022, tens of thousands of people - mostly in their 20s and 30s - had been out to enjoy post-pandemic holiday celebrations in Seoul's Itaewon nightlife district.
But the night turned deadly when people poured into a narrow, sloping alleyway between bars and clubs, the weight of their bodies and a lack of effective crowd control leaving more than 150 crushed to death.
