SEOUL, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Two North Koreans who killed 16 fellow crew members on a squid fishing boat were repatriated by South Korean authorities on Thursday afternoon after being captured at sea near the Northern Limit Line, a maritime boundary off South Korea's east coast, the Unification Ministry said.
The two men, both in their 20s, were found to have killed 16 crew members, a spokesperson from the Ministry of Unification said in a briefing.
"As a result of a joint investigation, the men in their 20s were found to have killed and fled 16 fellow crew members from a squid fishing boat operating on the East Sea," ministry spokesperson Lee Sang-min said, according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency.

I wonder if they were trying to defect? Either way, maybe they will be placed in front of anti aircraft guns.
I don’t expect much from journalism these days but this article reads like a 5th grader wrote it. Translation?
No very odd when you consider how bad the writing is. These two guys must be really bad characters for the South Koreans to quietly and quickly work with the North Koreans to help hunt them down and return them to the North.
Democrat plants? You have an article about 16 people getting killed, the NORKS and cry babies are complaining about the writing? What a joke.
“No very odd when you consider how bad the writing is. These two guys must be really bad characters for the South Koreans to quietly and quickly work with the North Koreans to help hunt them down and return them to the North.”
Unlike the US, where almost everyone you see on nightly news, on both sides of the microphone are traitors, the South Koreans have a very sophisticated system for rooting out traitors...as they must have that to survive, considering that the Norks would flood them with ‘refugee’ spies otherwise.
My guess is that the 16 killed were ‘enemies of the people’ and were put on the boat with two spies. The plan being to kill the 16 others for ‘credibility’ with the South. But the South probably did some of their checking, and perhaps were able to tell they hadn’t been starving half (or more) of their lives, so that gave them away as government agents.
What ever noob. Facts matter and sifting through the garbage writing to find them isn’t worth the time. It has no impact on my life and yours(I bet).
Lefty trolls, please don’t troll here with flimsy excuses about writing style, you’ve been outed. I can’t think of anything else clearer. Keep your abuse to yourselves.
BobL: Those fishing boats are not cheap.
It would have been more humane to give them the death penalty.
