VOA:
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – South Korea has acknowledged that a North Korean defector, who had been accused of rape in the South, may have sneaked past South Korean border guards before apparently swimming back to his North Korean homeland.
At a briefing Monday, South Korean military officials said they found the man’s bag near a drainage ditch he apparently used to get under a barbed wire fence on the northeastern island of Ganghwa, which is separated from North Korea by a portion of the Han River Estuary.
The 24-year-old, who fled North Korea in 2017, had recently been accused of raping another defector and was the subject of an arrest warrant in the South, according to South Korean media reports. He had also recently lost his job, the reports say.
But South Korean health officials said the re-defector was not registered as a COVID-19 patient or as someone who had come in contact with infected individuals.
That undermines North Korea’s accusation that the man may have brought the coronavirus into the communist country. more here
What does South Korea do to rapists that a suspect would rather flee to North Korea than find out first-hand? And how soon can we implement that policy here?
didn’t know Kim Jong-un could swim that well
… who knew?
(I’m getting a mental pic of him using his own body as a flotation device & he’s backstroking his way back to paradise)
Gets out of hellhole, ends up not being able to control himself, then swims back to hellhole.
This will sort itself out on fat boys dime.
It wan’t lape-lape.
Hey Toenex, I’m betting he’s already in a shallow grave.
