Runaway N. Korean soldier kills 4 Chinese
2015-01-06
A North Korean believed to be a runaway soldier killed four Chinese during a robbery after he crossed the border into China in search of food, media reports said Monday.

The young North Korean crossed the border in late December and stole money and food at a house before killing four residents in China’s northeastern city of Helong, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency and Dong-A Ilbo newspaper said. Both cited sources in the border areas between China and the North.

The victims were either shot dead or beaten to death, Dong-A said, adding he was later shot and captured by Chinese authorities.

“Killing several Chinese nationals... is a major crime, so there are good possibilities that China, unlike other runaway North Korean soldiers captured before, will not hand him over to the North,” said an unnamed Seoul official quoted by Yonhap.

He'd be provided In-State tuition and free health care here.

#1  He prolly wasn't caught sooner because, in the minds of the Border Guards, China's border wid a Korea is at the Inter-Korean DMZ agz SOKOR, NOT at the Yalu vee NOKOR???
