Prosecutors indict Chinese fisherman on murder charges
INCHEON, Jan. 10 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors indicted the captain of a Chinese fishing boat with physical detention Tuesday on charges of killing a South Korean law enforcement officer last month during a raid on the vessel for illegally fishing in Korea's exclusive economic zone.

The 42-year-old captain, whose identity was withheld from the public, was accused of stabbing a South Korean Coast Guard corporal to death with a knife and seriously wounding another officer on Dec. 12 during a crackdown on Chinese sailors fishing in waters off Incheon, west of Seoul.
