Self-styled messiah Sun Myung Moon, whose Unification Church became famous for marrying thousands of people in a single ceremony, has died, aged 92.
Moon set up the Church, whose members are often called Moonies, in the 1950s in the South Korean capital, Seoul.
He claimed to have millions of members, many in the US, but was accused of brainwashing and profiteering.
Moon built up a global business empire, setting up newspapers, arms factories, universities and food distributors.
Moon died early on Monday at a hospital near his home in Gapyeong, north-east of Seoul, where the headquarters of his church is located. Full story...
