Caleb Mission, a South Korean based Christian organization, released a North Korean confidential 791 page document, ‘manual for workers in law enforcement,’ which was published in June, 2009. An inside source captured digital photos of each page, listing a total of 721 cases in detail along with punishment guidelines.
Notably, five cases related to cannibalism were also included in the manual. Stories about starving North Koreans eating human flesh have been considered rumors, but recent discoveries in the manual may prove otherwise, triggering more speculations about the food shortage crisis in North Korea.
One case involved a guard named Lee Man-sung, who killed his roommate with an axe when he was sleeping, ate part of the corpse and then sold the rest on the market describing it as lamb meat. (International Business Times)
