[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A man in his 30s, an airline flight attendant who was arrested on charges of killing a police officer who was his friend, has been brought to trial.

The Criminal Division 5 of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Heo In-seok) announced on the 10th that Mr. A was formally charged with murder while in custody.

According to the prosecution, Mr. A is accused of killing his friend Mr. B, a police officer assigned to a police substation in Seoul, at his home in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, on the 14th of last month.

It was reported that after killing Mr. B at his home, Mr. A called 119 and reported that "a man is lying down."

After receiving the report, the police analyzed closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage around the scene and arrested Mr. A near his residence on the morning of the incident.
