The history of Mr. A, an official with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, who is known to have died after being shot by North Korean troops in North Korean waters after disappearing at sea near Yeonpyeong Island, Incheon, is not yet known. .
The Incheon Maritime Police Department announced through a briefing on the 24th that the first investigation of the fishing guide boat in which Mr. A was traveling could not verify the movement of the missing persons because closed circuit television to board was not working. However, the fact that Mr. A was killed by the North Korean army on the 22nd was not reported by the Ministry of National Defense, and was reported by media reports.
In a briefing, Incheon Coast Guard Chief Shin Dong-sam said: “The two CCTVs on the fishing guide boat were malfunctioning, so we were unable to verify the movement of the missing person.”
Chief Shin said, “CCTV was in normal operation until the 17th, but it was determined to be broken on the 18th, and I know it has a long duration.” He added that the coast guard is also investigating whether it was deliberately damaged.
The Incheon Coast Guard also added: “We have reviewed Mr. A’s personal notebook, wallet and other belongings, and we are verifying the details of his cell phone calls and financial insurance accounts.”
The Incheon Coast Guard said: “When considering the fact that Mr. A was familiar with the tidal situation at the time, was wearing a life jacket and was complaining of pain due to debts etc., it cannot be exclude the possibility of voluntary defection to North Korea. ” We will conduct further investigations with related parties. “
A marine police officer said: “Since Mr. A worked as an engineer for a long time, we judge that he knew birds well. There is no clear evidence that Mr. A wore a life jacket and rode a buoy.” Haekyung also said, “The fellow sailors take the initiative in cleaning up and evaluate Mr. A as a sincere and diligent person.” “There were no related statements, such as that he was generally interested in North Korea.”
According to the ocean view, Mr. A told the situation man at the wheelhouse at 1:35 am on the 21st, “going down to see other things,” and left. Mr. A, who originally worked until 4 am, did not return afterward and his successor did not report it. Colleagues reported that Mr. A disappeared around 12 o’clock the next day when Mr. A did not show up for lunch. The Haekyung confirmed via the base station that the power to Mr. A’s mobile phone was cut off at 1:19 pm on the 21st.
Meanwhile, the maritime administration plans to conduct additional investigations into the financial situation of Mr. A.
