US army releases Korea deserter

Posted in Korea by Sunny Dean on November 27th, 2004.

A former US soldier found guilty of deserting 40 years ago has been freed from US military custody in Japan.
Charles Jenkins, 64, abandoned his unit in 1965 and defected to North Korea, where he lived for nearly four decades.

He surrendered to the US authorities in September after travelling to Japan to be reunited with his Japanese wife.
