Kim Jong-un's uncle execution: Eaten by 120 starving dogs

Referred to by the North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un as "factional filth", his uncle Jang Song-thaek was reportedly executed by being eaten by 120 starving dogs.

Jang Song-thaek was stripped down naked and thrown into a cage, along with some of his aides, then 120 dogs that had been starved for three days were unleashed and allowed to devour them till death.

Unlike a customary execution before, the method was mainly by firing squad.

The gruesome execution lasted for about an hour. The spectators included 300 senior officials of North Korea.

Reports further say that Jang Song-Thaek bore an accusation related to mismanaging the economy, corruption, womanizing and drug-taking. (Source 1, Source 2)
