South Korean police has said that a body found last month in the south of the country belonged to a fugitive businessman who headed the family that owned the operator of a ferry that capsized in April, killing more than 300 people.
Rescuers were hammering on the upturned hull of a capsized South Korea ferry hoping for a response from hundreds of people believed trapped after the vessel started sinking more than 24 hours before.
Coastguard and navy divers were diving into the waters at the site of the accident, about 20 km (12 miles) off the country's southwestern coast, searching for any sign of the 290 missing people.
Grieving parents accused officials of being slow to react and for lack of information. "I am really angry with the government," said Kwak Hyun-ok, whose daughter who was one of 340 children and teachers from one school on the vessel.
"There is no meaning to life without my daughter," Kwak told Reuters.
