SEOUL, November 24 (AJP) - The body of a man believed to be South Korean was discovered inside a large bag in Viet Nam, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday.
According to the South Korean Consulate General there, the body was found inside a large blue bag near a residential area in Ho Chi Minh City the previous day.
"We are in close communication with local authorities and will provide necessary consular support," said a ministry official, declining to give further details, citing that "the relevant investigation is ongoing."
Local police identified the body as South Korean and cordoned off the area. Two South Korean suspects, who reportedly fled the scene by taxi as bystanders gathered, are being questioned after their arrest. Police are working to determine the time and cause of death as the body was found in a state of decomposition.
