HORROR: North Korean Parents Eat Their Own Children As Famine Worsens

HUNGRY parents in North Korea have been caught eating their CHILDREN to avoid starvation, according to reports.

Meanwhile, a North Korean man has been executed after he killed his two children for food. He was reportedly put to death by firing squad after officials discovered he ate his children in the 2012 famine in which thousands of North Koreans died.

An informant told Asia Press: 

"While his wife was away on business he killed his eldest daughter and because his son saw what he had done, he killed his son as well. When the wife came home he offered her food, saying ‘We have meat.’ But his wife, suspicious, notified the ministry of public security, which led to the discovery of part of their children’s bodies under the eaves."

Reports by citizen journalists employed by Asia Press indicate a "hidden famine" in the rural provinces of North and South Hwanghae, south of Pyongyang, in which 10,000 people are believed to have died.

However just last week the defiant country outraged the world as it announced plans for a third nuclear missile test.
