North Korean defence chief executed for sleeping and backchat
Kim Jong Un has executed his defence chief by anti-aircraft gun fire for falling asleep during a meeting and talking back to him, it has been claimed.
South Korea"s spy agency said North Korea"s People"s Armed Forces Minister Hyon Yong Chol was gunned down in front of hundreds of people at a shooting range in late April.
The agency gave the information to politicians at a behind-closed-doors parliamentary committee meeting, citing what it called credible information, according to Shin Kyoung-min, who attended the briefing.
The office of another politician, Lee Cheol Woo, released similar information about the National Intelligence Service briefing.
