Dead Seoul mayor accused of four-year harassment

A former secretary for the mayor of Seoul who died last week in an apparent suicide has accused him of four years of sexual harassment.

Park Won-Soon was one of South Korea’s most influential leaders and was seen as a possible presidential candidate.

His body was found in woods on Friday after a note to his family was found and his funeral began on Monday.

His death came just a day after the secretary made a police complaint about his behaviour.

More than 500,000 people signed a petition saying Mr Park’s state-run five-day funeral should not go ahead.
