SEOUL, Jan 18 — A United States court has awarded the family of Otto Warmbier, the American student who died after being jailed by Pyongyang, US$240,000 seized from a North Korean bank, court records showed.

His parents, Cynthia and Frederick Warmbier, sued North Korea for the alleged torture and murder of their son, with a US judge ordering Pyongyang to pay them US$501 million in 2018. Last week, Judge Lawrence Kahn of the Northern District Court of New York approved the seizure of the funds from North Korea’s Korea Kwangson Banking Corporation after they failed to respond to a forfeiture order.

Otto Warmbier, an Ohio native who studied at the University of Virginia, travelled to North Korea on a tour in 2016.
