The ruthless North Korean leader ordered the execution of Jang Song-Thaek as a traitor last month, with state media branding him ‘worse than a dog’.
Kim Jong-Un’s uncle was stripped naked and fed to 120 starving dogs as the tyrant watched on, a shocking report has claimed.
The ruthless North Korean leader ordered the execution of Jang Song-Thaek – his mentor and the country’s second in command – last month.
At the time, it was believed he had been executed by firing squad with machine guns after being sentenced to death by a military tribunal.
But now an official report in China says Jang was stripped naked and thrown into a cage, along with his five closest aides.
Then 120 dogs, who had been deprived of food for three days, were allowed to eat them in a process called “quan jue”, or execution by dogs.
The report added the entire process lasted for an hour, with Kim, 30, supervising it along with 300 senior North Korea officials.
The once-powerful Jang, who was seen as the real power behind the throne in North Korea, was dramatically removed from a Communist Party session by armed guards earlier last month.
State media denounced Jang, 67, as being “worse than a dog” and “despicable human scum” after a military show trial.
He was accused of forming factions against the state, corruption and ‘depraved’ acts such as womanising and drug and alcohol abuse.
The list of offences also included introducing disastrous currency reforms and distributing pornography.
It was also claimed he pursued a “decadent capitalist lifestyle”, squandering £3million in 2009, some in a foreign casino.
Jang had mentored Kim as he took the reins of power in the highly secretive country.
And experts believe the execution is a bid by Kim to assert his authority and independence as leader.
At least six others in Jang’s circle are thought to have been killed.
Last year, North Korea released photos of attack dogs ripping apart an effigy of South Korean Defence Minister Kim Kwan-jinr.
