11 December 2018 :
A serial rapist who raped nine women in North Hamgyong Province’s Onsong County has been publicly executed by firing squad, local sources have reported.
“A public trial was held in an empty lot near the Kangan High School in Onsong County at 11am on November 19,” said the North Hamgyong Province-based source.
“A human trafficker was sentenced to life in prison, while a serial rapist was tried and executed on the spot.”
The serial rapist was a 39-year-old man living in Onsong County who attacked young women near a “red rock” at the center of a road leading from Onsong Station to Jongsong County, said the source.
“Rumors that women were being raped in the area were common,” said the source.
“Most women conducting business activities didn’t head down that road at night.”
The rapist was finally arrested after a courageous 21-year-old victim reported the man to police.
