SEOUL, December 16 (Korea Bizwire) – The Busan Metropolitan Police Agency found the perpetrators of a potentially unsolvable hit-and-run accident by promoting the case on its Facebook page. After reaching the 3 million hits, one of the offenders turned himself in leading to the arrest of the other criminal.

The person who was killed in the accident was a man in his early 30s who had spent more than ten years delivering newspaper to support his mother with physical disabilities. According to the Busan-jin District Police Agency on December 15, two suspects are currently under questioning for hit and run.

The two, one a taxi driver and the other a passenger car driver, ran over the newspaper deliveryman on a motorbike who fell on the road after crashing into a taxi and killed him instantly.

The police set out to find the perpetrators but were unable to find evidence as there was no closed circuit TV at the accident site and even the black box images of the cars were too vague to pinpoint the owners.
