North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, kills his own uncle.



Months after executing his ex-girlfriend, North Korean 30 year old leader Kim Jong-un, has once again killed someone close to him, his own uncle.   According to Korean Central News Agency, Kim Jong-un executed, Jang Song Thaek, (pictured above being led away yesterday) for allegedly 'trying to overthrow the government'."

Jang Song Thaek had been the leader's adviser and had until recently been regarded as North Korea's second most powerful person after Kim Jong-un.   The 'traitor' was found guilty of treason by a military tribunal and was sentenced to death. He was executed immediately after the hearing.
