The whereabouts of North Korean criminal Zhu Xianjian, who allegedly served as a special forces soldier in North Korea and subsequently committed a number of crimes in China, including border-crossing, theft and robbery, have been unknown since he escaped from the Jilin prison where he was serving his sentence on November 18 last month.
The Jilin Public Security Bureau has earlier raised the reward amount for Zhu Xianjian to 500,000 yuan, and the Heilongjiang Dongning Public Security Bureau also announced on Thursday (18) that a reward of 500,000 yuan will be offered for any information leading to the direct capture of the criminal.
According to previous reports, on the night of October 18, Zhu Xianjian used the closing time to forcefully escape from the 6-meter-high fence of Jilin Prison. From the moment the video of the incident circulated online, it was seen that Zhu Xianjian had no shoes on his right foot and held a rope in his hand. Many prison staff found his actions, and rushed to stop and chase, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhu Xianjian quickly climbed from an iron gate to the canopy above the iron gate. After climbing to the canopy, he seems to take out a rope-like object from his body and pull it vigorously, suspected of damaging the prison’s power grid, and sparks can be seen several times during the process.
Another video shows Zhu Xianjian jumping off the ground, rolling a few times and lying down for 10 seconds before getting up and then disappearing from the picture at a run.
From his sentencing in 2014 to 2021, Zhu Xianjian reportedly spent seven years in a Chinese prison, during which he not only failed to show his hand but also deliberately behaved well and received two reductions in his sentence, which will end on Aug. 21, 2023.
The reward notice from the Heilongjiang Dongning Public Security Bureau points out that Zhu Xianjian is not fluent in language, had picked up, robbed graves, robbed food, clothing and other household items, and is characterized by day and night ambush. Zhu Xianjian to avoid arrest, may take to change clothes, makeup and other ways to change its physical characteristics. The notice said, who provides clues to directly arrest criminals will be rewarded 500,000 yuan. Anyone who knowingly fails to report, harboring, harboring, will be held legally responsible. Source
