    North Korea has decided to "expel" Travis King, the US soldier who crossed the border from South Korea in July, state news agency KNCA reports.

    The totalitarian state, led by supreme leader Kim Jong-Un, said they will deport the US Army Private after investigating his "illegal" entry. "The relevant body in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has decided to deport US soldier Travis King, who illegally entered the territory of the republic, in accordance with the laws of the republic," KCNA said on Wednesday.

    The report said the investigation "has been finished" and claimed King, 23, had confessed to illegally entering the country "due to inhuman treatment in the US military, antipathy to racism and disillusionment with the unequal US society." It did not include any details about when or where he would be expelled to.
