Seoul: Former South Korean Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun, currently under arrest after last week’s attempt to impose martial law in the country, has attempted suicide, Shin Yong-hae, the head of the correctional center where the minister is held, said on Wednesday.

“Yesterday, at about 23:52 [local time, 14:52 GMT], a guard on duty reported that [Kim] attempted suicide in a toilet at an order awaiting room,” Yonhap quoted Shin as telling the South Korean Parliament.

The center’s staff immediately interfered and prevented the attempt by the ex-minister, the penitentiary official said, adding that Kim is currently under guard and his health does not cause alarm.
