GUNSAN, North Jeolla Province -- Police on Monday arrested a 55-year-old man on suspicion of starting a fire at a bar in North Jeolla Province in western South Korea that killed three customers and injured 30 others, all men.
The police believed that the man, one of the bar's regular customers, set the bar ablaze by lighting some inflammable materials around 9:50 p.m. Sunday. Many of the injured are from Gaeya Island off the city of Gunsan and the death toll could rise, as they are seriously injured.
