The
Daily NK has reported on two Chinese human traffickers that were
killed by two North Korean border guards in December. The killings
took place on the Chinese-North Korean border.
The
two Chinese traffickers were waiting on the Chinese side of the
border to take delivery of a North Korean woman from the guards. The
border guards crossed the border, robbed, and then killed the two
traffickers, according to a Daily NK source. The North Korean
National Security Agency were notified by their Chinese counterparts.
The two border guards were arrested on the 31st.
The
source told the Daily NK that, "The two border guards were
apparently supposed to hand a woman to the Chinese men in exchange
for money, but instead they took the money and shot the men.” The
two guards are apparently being interrogated.
The
source believes that the two guards will be heavily punished. The
source said, “The two border guards will almost certainly face the
death penalty given that they not only murdered foreigners, but also
illegally crossed an international border in possession of a weapon
and had become embroiled in human trafficking.”
An
investigation is likely to be under way to find out which dealer
introduced the traffickers to the guards, according to another source
that works as an agent for the Chinese public security agency.
