The World - News from April 5, 1989

South Korean prosecutors demanded the death penalty for a North Korean woman who has told the court she wants to die to atone for killing 115 people in the 1987 bombing of a South Korean airliner. Kim Hyon Hui, 27, confessed to placing a bomb aboard the airliner when she first appeared in court. The prosecution said she was reduced to a tool of North Korean Communists who brainwashed her and trained her to be a terrorist. Relatives of those who died in the bombing shouted in the courtroom: “Why do you keep her alive? Kill her!” The verdict and sentence will be issued April 25.
