South Korea's former defence minister Kim Yong Hyun, who has been arrested for his role in the president’s botched attempt to impose martial law, attempted to kill himself in custody, officials from the correctional service told parliament.
Members of the National Assembly were informed of Mr Kim’s suicide bid as police raided the presidential office on Wednesday to investigate charges against Yoon Suk Yeol, who is accused of staging an insurrection by imposing martial law.
