The case is still under investigation by provincial, state, and municipal police. Korean television station KBS reported that the men had been armed, and had fled after killing the three Chinese villagers. Yonhap News reported that because of serious food shortages in North Korea, hungry North Korean soldiers often cross the border into China in order to steal food and money from China's farmers

I don't understand why a food thief would wear his uniform to do commit such an act. Something is not right in this narrative.

China is the only reason why North Korea is still in existence. That is coming back to haunt Chinese people.
