South Korea’s former defense minister and ex-coast guard chief were arrested Saturday for their alleged involvement in covering up the killing of a South Korean fisheries official by North Korea two years ago.

The Seoul Central District Court said it issued arrest warrants for former defense minister Suh Wook and former coast guard commissioner general Kim Hong-hee due to their flight risks, Yonhap News Agency reported.
