Cannibalism in North Korea! Man executed after eating children

A man in North Korea is reported to have been executed after killing his two children for food.

The Sunday Times has reported a "hidden famine" in North and South Hwanghae, North Korea's farming provinces, which has killed more than 10,000 people.

An investigation into the issue by undercover journalists from Asia Press found the acts of cannibalism came out of desperation for food.

One informant from South Hwanghae said: "In my village in May a man who killed his own two children and tried to eat them was executed by a firing squad.

"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'.
