A horrific attack in South Korea’s Province of Busan has caused outrage around the globe after pictures of the victim were revealed online.

The four attackers were captured on CCTV attacking the girl with a metal pipe, a chair, several soju bottles, and lit cigarettes. The girls then took pictures of the bloodied victim after the attack and sent it to other students to ‘brag’ about what they did.

A Thai woman’s wits have led to her rescue and that of four others from a brothel in South Korea.
The Busan Metropolitan Police Agency revealed the case on Wednesday.
The incident started when the five women visited a Busan supermarket on May 16 under the “guidance” of a Korean man.
The women were regular customers who visited late at night to buy daily necessities.
On May 16, the women bought products while the Korean man stood just outside the supermarket. But something unusual happened when they paid the bill.
As one of the women extended her cash-filled hand to the casher, he realized there was more there than he expected — a hand-written SOS message hidden inside the cash.
“Help the police. I was caught in the fourth floor of the building,” read the note in English, Korean and Thai. [Korea Times]

A woman confessed to having let her newborn babies die and then storing the bodies in her home refrigerator for fear that her live-in lover would leave if he found out about the births, police said Tuesday.
Police apprehended the 33-year-old woman, only identified by her family name Kim, after the bodies were found wrapped in black envelopes in a freezer in a house in the coastal city of Busan on Saturday.
The Busan Southern Police said Kim tried to conceal her baby deliveries because she feared her partner might leave her if he knew that she gave birth to babies whose father was uncertain. Both babies were daughters.
Kim and the man, who got to know each other five years ago, started to live together last April. The man told investigators that he had no idea of her pregnancy or her disposal of the babies. [Yonhap]
