Three people who tried to flee the repressive regime were reportedly killed in recent days as they tried to cross the Yalu River along the Chinese border, part of a policy of tightened border controls that Pyongyang is enforcing after Kim Jong Il's Dec. 17 death.

Under Kim Jong Un, North Korea has pledged to hunt down and imprison, or even kill, three generations of family left behind by escapees, successful or not, according to Seoul's Joongang Daily newspaper.

North Korea watchers say the younger Kim may fear that a rise in defections could destabilize his fledgling hold on power as officials across Pyongyang's security apparatus jockey to demonstrate their loyalty to the regime's new strongman.

"There was nothing like the eradication of three generations in the Kim Jong Il era, but now it's happening under Kim Jong Un," an unnamed official told the newspaper.
