A hunter in his 40s allegedly shot and killed a colleague in Gyeonggi province in South Korea.
According to Yeoncheon Police, the man claimed he mistook his colleague for a wild boar as it was dark at the time.
The fatal incident took place at about 11pm on Sunday (6 Oct).
The victim was struck by a bullet in the head, leaving him in a state of cardiac arrest.
He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The two hunters were part of a three-man team tasked with culling boars.
They were dispatched after receiving reports of wild boar sightings in the region, reports the Korea Herald.
The victim, who was also in his 40s, was in charge of installing a thermal imaging camera to detect boars while the other two were carrying shotguns.
The man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter due to professional negligence.
Police investigations are ongoing.
