I'd rather the murderer (assuming this news report is correct) be sent back to NK rather than go free.

If he is set free, and if I were a family member of one of the murdered officers, my goal in life would be to make sure my family member's murderer doesn't die of natural causes. I know that would be almost impossible under NK's current political situation.
