00:00The remains of a South Korean student, who was lured to Cambodia for what he thought

00:11was a high-paying job, returned home on Tuesday, 74 days after he was found dead.

00:16A South Korean investigator, who visited Cambodia for an autopsy, handed over the urn containing

00:22the student's ashes to a police official at Incheon International Airport.

00:26The college student, who was found dead in August, was tortured to death in a case linked

00:32to an employment scam.

00:37Scam operations in Cambodia are estimated to have about 200,000 workers, including 1,000

00:42South Koreans.

00:44Some were lured with the promise of a well-paid job, but many forced to do so under threats

00:48of violence.

00:49South Korean police are seeking to detain most of the 64 repatriated citizens.

00:55The returnees, who were arrested in Cambodia in recent months, are implicated in various

00:59crimes linked to voice phishing, romance scams and no-show fraud schemes, according to police.

01:06No-show scams are a new kind of fraud where scammers make large reservations or take advance payments

01:11under a false identity and disappear with the money.

01:15The South Korean government has set up a task force to help nationals lured into working

01:19in scam compounds and secure the release of those held against their will.

01:26That means that you will run back in a way.

01:28You can still nerve, the streets are now, you can step back in space.

01:29You can also see the streets that have come to many people.

01:31In a way you can fall here with ease.

01:32You can do things like a shift.

01:33But when you decide on the streets of a strange world, I don't really know.

01:35It's going to be a relationship.

01:37You can do things like a walk.

01:39If you do things like a walk, I can tell you.

01:41I can do things like that.

01:43You can do things like a walk or a walk at a walk, just outside, too.

01:45That's going to be a walk.

01:47And you're ak-talking, too, so it's going to be a walk.
