A FATHER in North Korea is reported to have been executed by firing squad after murdering his two children to eat them during a “hidden famine” that may have killed more than 10,000 people last year.

In a litany of horrors documented by undercover reporters, another man dug up his grandchild’s corpse for food and a third, driven mad by hunger, boiled his own child and ate the flesh.

The stories were collected by Asia Press, a specialist news agency based in Osaka, Japan, which has a network of “citizen journalists” inside North Korea and is regarded as credible. Dozens of interviews and clandestine reports have led the agency to conclude that “considerable numbers of people” — probably more than 10,000 — have died in North and South Hwanghae provinces, south of Pyongyang, the capital.
