Some family members of those still missing in the sunken ferry say not enough is being done and progress is not occurring fast enough
Search crews got inside the ferry for the first time on Saturday; they have recovered 36 bodies but more than 260 are still missing
A South Korean prosecutor says four more crew members from a sunken ferry have been detained on allegations of failing to protect passengers.
Senior prosecutor Ahn Sang-don told reporters Monday that two first mates, one second mate and a chief engineer are also accused of abandoning the ship.
Ahn says prosecutors are considering whether to ask a court for a formal arrest warrant that would allow for a longer period of investigation. South Koreans can only be detained for 48 hours without a court-issued formal arrest warrant.
The ferry's captain and two other crew members were previously formally arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need.
Sixty-four bodies have been recovered, and about 240 people are still missing.
