Nork Nuke defector kills himself

| December 29, 2017

Mick sends a link to the news that a North Korean researcher who had defected to China committed suicide with a dose of poison when the Chinese returned him to North Korea.

He had left his job to rest up with family near the Chinese frontier, then slipped across the border only to be scooped up with some other North Korean defectors in Shenyang, a northern Chinese city.

“He killed himself only a few hours after he was placed in solitary confinement at the State Security Department in Sinuiju city” the source said.

“He died before he could be questioned about the reasons for his escape, who had helped him, and what his route had been,” the source added.

The article mentions that he was searched countless times between the Chinese and North Korean government and they’re not sure how he smuggled the poison to his cell. Yeah, he probably didn’t.

The Chinese also say that if he had told them what his job was, they probably wouldn’t have sent him back so quickly.

It speaks volumes that people defect to China from The Hermit Kingdom.

Even more so when they suicide upon being returned.

The Chinese learned from the Rapist clinton. As with Elian Gonzales when you can, send the escapee back to slavery/death. All the damn communists are the same..

It’s happened so many times. I too have evidence against Hillary Cl…. THE NUMBER YOU HAVE REACHED IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. PLEASE HANG UP AND TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN

Someone inform the DRG! They will want to prosecute the vile beings who incited this poor fellow to “self murder.”

Sounds like he was “Rommel’ed” to me….

Very likely.

Sounds like something the Gestapo, KGB , Stasi or Kempei Tai would do.

Boy, with friends like the Chinese, who needs enemies?

If they’d known he was a nuclear scientist they wouldn’t have sent him back so fast? Would they have taken him around their facilities to show him how to advance the NK systems? Or maybe a tour of their ICBM manufacturing and/or space program first?

He should have dropped Rodman’s name.

He was a nuclear scientist in NK? Hell, this is just a cover story. He’ll spend the rest of his life helping the Chinese. Either that or the Chinese will announce that he rose from the dead and ship him back to that crazy dipshit in NK. I think the Chinese will find him to be VERY cooperative.

Very possible that the Chinese did concoct a story that he offed himself to keep his family from being slaughtered.

I do hope for his sake this is what happened. My first thought was that someone was paid off to suicide him.

That’s a pretty good/hopeful theory. BUT, I think NK would do the usual and kill off most of his family and imprison the rest in labor/death camps anyway, just for the attempt alone.

Knowing NDtBF’s history, he’d have them killed in grotesque ways, just to get his jollies.

I question the accuracy of this story coming from the Chinese. Why would the NORKS admit one of their nuke scientists killed himself after he tried to defect?

Was his name A.J. Lewinter? (May be too obscure for some, “The Defection of AJ Lewinter” is one of the best defection/spy novels ever written.)
