Murderous North Korean nutjob Kim Jong Un ordered the executions of the entire family of the uncle he earlier had killed, including women, kids and the country’s ambassadors to Cuba and Malaysia, according to a new report.
Jang Song Thaek, the once-powerful uncle, was executed last month on charges of attempting to overthrow the communist regime through a military-backed coup.
All direct relatives of Jang have now also been executed, sources told Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.
“Extensive executions have been carried out for relatives of Jang Song Thaek,” one source said. “All relatives of Jang have been put to death, including even children.”
The dead include Jang’s sister Jang Kye Sun, her husband and Ambassador to Cuba Jon Yong Jin, and Ambassador to Malaysia Jang Yong Chol, a nephew of Jang, along with his two sons, the sources said.
All were recalled to Pyongyang in early December and executed, they said. The sons, daughters and even grandchildren of Jang’s two brothers were also killed, the agency said.
“Some relatives were shot to death by pistol in front of other people if they resisted while being dragged out of their apartment homes,” another source said.
Some relatives by marriage, including the wife of the ambassador to Malaysia, have been spared from executions and exiled to remote villages, according to the sources.
“The executions of Jang’s relatives mean that no traces of him should be left,” a source said. “The purge of the Jang Song Thaek people is under way on an extensive scale from relatives and low-level officials.”
