More details came of Kim Jong Un’s uncle’s execution that shook the world in December. US TV channel Fox with reference to the Chinese and Singapore media maintains that the North Korean leader’s relative was not shot from a large-calibre machine gun, as it was earlier believed, but fed to hungry dogs.

Jang Song-thaek and his five cronies are claimed to have been completely undressed and fed to 120 starving dogs that had not been fed for three days.

Allegedly, 300 people watched the process of tearing the poor wretches to pieces, which took about an hour.

There has been no formal confirmation on the part of North Korea or independent sources so far.

Some media leave open the possibility that official Beijing might be behind this publication because China is displeased with Pyongyang’s new policy and is trying in this connection to discredit its recent partner and further complicate North Korea’s relations with the West.

Seven more people were executed along with the North Korean leader’s uncle Jang Song-thaek on 12 December, the South Korean newspaper The JoongAng Ilbo reports.

The North Korean Central News Agency reported on 13 December that Jang Song-thaek, who was the head of the regency council for young Kim Jong-un and was considered second in command in North Korea, was legally killed for an attempt at overthrow of power, RIA Novosti reminds.

According to the newspaper’s source, two high-ranking party officials, two members of the government, two military commanders and one plant manager were killed on the same day with Jang Song-thaek. The newspaper reports that those people held positions equal or more than deputy minister or department manager. The execution was carried out in the building of the National Defence Commission in the presence of key party leaders.

According to the newspaper’s source, in spite of the fact that photos showing Jang Song-thaek’s arrest at a party meeting were published on 9 December, he was actually confined to his house since the middle of November.
