South Korea: Police officer admits to closing missing person cases on Jeju to avoid work

• A South Korean police officer has admitted to closing missing persons cases without investigating them in order to avoid additional work, according to authorities.
• The officer, surnamed Bu, was arrested earlier this month after he was accused of prematurely closing cases on the popular holiday island Jeju and lying to missing persons' families.
• Amid mounting public criticism, police embarked on belated searches for several missing persons on the island, and have since discovered four bodies in recent weeks.
