Mysterious South Korean merchant vessel



Feb 11, Colombo: The Sri Lanka Navy seized a South Korean merchant vessel in the early hours of today close to Indian waters and brought it to Sri Lanka on suspicion of attempted murder of a member of the ship's crew.
The Sri Lanka Navy detained the ship following the rescue of a sailor of the ship as he was floating in the sea last night.
A nearby barge has rescued the sailor, a Russian national, believed to be the second engineer of the ship. He was admitted to the hospital and receiving treatments.
Sri Lankan navy vessels intercepted and detained the South Korean vessel later when it was heading towards Goa when intercepted, a naval official said.
The ship is now anchored south of Colombo harbor. Harbor police is investigating the incident to verify if it was an attempted murder.
