After laying his flower wreath in honor of Kim Jong Il\u2019s birthday, he went to Nammun Restaurant in the city\u2019s Hyegang District to have lunch with his girlfriend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They had just finished up their lunch at the restaurant when a drunk man in his 30s ran into them on their way out, which led to an argument between the two sides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The argument then escalated into a physical fight. Kim allegedly took out a concealed knife and stabbed the drunk man several times in the abdomen. Locals who witnessed the scene reported what they saw to the local police station.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Police then arrested Kim at the scene. Meanwhile, the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The alleged murderer has been imprisoned in the city\u2019s Ministry of Social Security detention center and is currently being investigated. Because the murder occurred on Kim Jong Il\u2019s birthday, the alleged perpetrator will most likely face severe punishment, the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/%ea%b9%80%ec%a0%95%ec%9d%bc-%ec%83%9d%ec%9d%bc-80%ec%a3%bc%eb%85%84-%ec%96%91%ea%b0%95%eb%8f%84%ec%84%9c-%ec%b9%bc%eb%b6%80%eb%a6%bc-%ec%82%ac%eb%a7%9d-%ec%82%ac%ea%b1%b4-%eb%b0%9c%ec%83%9d\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A drunk man in Yanggang Province was allegedly knifed to death by a university student outside a Hyesan restaurant on the afternoon of Kim Jong Il\u2019s 80th birthday, Daily NK has learned.\u00a0 A source in the province told Daily NK on Feb. 22 that the murder occurred at Hyesan\u2019s Nammun Restaurant at around 2 PM [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":132,"featured_media":43402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[3243],"class_list":["post-50776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-crime-corruption"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
