NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong-un cruelly executed a military minister with a
mortar shell – for boozing during the official mourning period of his
father.
Reports say army vice minister, Kim Chol was blown up after the tubby dictator
heard he had been drinking merrily.
The Communist Party chief ordered to leave “no trace of him behind, down
to the hair,” the Daily Telegraph said.
Experts believe that Mr Kim, who took over from his father Kim Jong-il, has
purged 14 senior officials in a bid to maintain power in the starving
nation.
A source told the Chosun Ilbo newspaper: “When Kim Jong-un became North
Korean leader following the mourning period for his father in late December,
high-ranking military officers started disappearing.”
The source added: “From information compiled over the last month, we have
concluded that dozens of military officers were purged.”
A 100 day period of mourning was imposed after Kim Jong-il’s death in December
last year.
