A North Korean soldier on guard duty at the border dividing the two Koreas defected, telling authorities who received him in the South that he killed his superiors before fleeing across the Military Demarcation Line.
South Korean soldiers at their guard posts reported hearing gunfire before he crossed into the South shortly after noon local time, according to a news release from South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Soldiers in the South took the defector in on their side of the border and brought him to a safe place for questioning then tightened security in the area.
The North Korean said that "while he was on guard duty, he killed his platoon and squad leaders and defected thereafter," the JCS said.

Who knows what the fuck happened here. Is he really a defector or playing the role of double agent? Did he actually kill anybody? Who knows.

good for him, but he most likely got the rest of his family killed for that.

Yep. They'll just publicly wipe out his entire family now and the rest of the soldiers will stop talking about defecting, or anything concerning freedom. The usual method is to declare that the family assisted and had the same desire to "go over to the enemy".

Must have been pushed around hard, cracked under the pressure, and killed and fled. Good for him.

Do you look down on him for killing his officers and betraying his nation, or congratulate him on escaping that shithole? I honestly cant decide.

Yes, I do. I can accept defecting but can't accept killing fellow soldiers. We had things like that between Mailand China and Taiwan during the Cold War. All defectors were pardoned except those who killed innocent fellow soldiers.

north koreans could use some lessons form mexicans, then they would be more efficient at jumping the border, and they could convince the host country to keep allowing them to do it or just yell racism if they should try and stop them

They don't put people with no relatives there along the border. I know pretty well about this policy.

Treason and murder are serious violations, but it also sounds like desperation on his part and for many North Koreans.
