SEOUL—The main points of her husband’s demise have been stunning. The South Korean fisheries official was shot and burned by North Korean sailors who interrogated him after he had drifted into Pyongyang’s territorial waters practically two years in the past.

However what bothered Kwon Younger-mi most, she mentioned, was what South Korean officers claimed he mentioned simply earlier than he died: that he needed to defect to North Korea. Ms. Kwon mentioned she didn’t imagine her husband would have ever needed to try this, however her household couldn’t persuade the federal government of that.
