GWANGJU: The highly charged trial of 15 crew members from South Korea’s ferry disaster began to shouts of “murderers” from victims’ relatives, who called for the defendants to be executed.

With divers still searching the submerged vessel for bodies and emotions sky-high less than two months after the tragedy, there are concerns over how fair the trial in the southern city of Gwangju will be.
