South Korea: Four dead in apparent group suicide
Four South Koreans have been found dead in an apparent group suicide.
Police say the bodies of two men and two women in their 20s were found today in a parked van in Seongju, about 190 miles south-east of Seoul.
Police say a suicide note was found.
South Korea has one of the world’s highest suicide rates and the highest in the developed world.
Earlier this year, four students at a top South Korean science university killed themselves, allegedly due to distress over tough academic programmes.
