North Korean state media agency KCNA reported on Tuesday that investigators have concluded that King crossed deliberately and illegally, with the intent to stay in the North or in a third country. The group embarked on a visit to a historic site, the Military Demarcation Line at Panmunjom, where he made a run for the border, with tour guides giving chase but failing to catch him before he made it to North Korea.
United Nations Command said earlier this month that North Korea had confirmed the soldier was in its custody, though the body declined to give more details because it “did not want to interfere with the efforts to bring him home”.
