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.

Jang was removed from his government position at a Ruling Workers' Party politburo meeting on Sunday, he was arrested shortly after that.

Jang was married to Kim's aunt, and had served as vice chairman of the country's top military body for years. Continue to see photos...

The Roar hitmaker filed paperwork with the U.S. Trademark Office in a bid to cash in on the phenomenon surrounding the dancing shark, which became an Internet sensation for its awkward dance moves during the high-profile show in February (15). One sculptor tried to capitalise on its success by making a 3D figurine of the shark and Perry’s lawyers fired off a cease-and-desist letter in February (15) to halt production and they have since taken steps to prevent further unofficial reproductions.
