Did Kim Jong Un have his own aunt poisoned?
The Kim family has ruled North Korea since the Korean War. Their dynasty is beginning to crumble from the inside.
Mr. Park, one of the most senior North Korean officials ever to defect, talked to reporters about the truth behind the regime he served faithfully for decades. Mr. Park is not his real name; he wants his identity hidden for fear of retribution against his close friends and family still living in North Korea.
Mr. Park shockingly told reporters that Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, ordered his own aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, to be poisoned. Mr. Park claims that initially, only Kim Jong Un’s bodyguard unit, called Unit 974, knew this; now many senior officials also know that she was poisoned. Park says that Kim Jong Un wanted to silence his aunt after she complained angrily for some time after her husband and presumed second-in-command in North Korea, Jang Song Thaek, was killed in December of 2013. Mr. Park told reporters that the regime and North Korean inner power circle is crumbling, informing reporters that Kim Jong Un had at least 15 senior officials executed in this year alone.
As for the death of Kim Jong Un’s uncle, he was arrested, tried, and executed in less than a week. Jang was not executed publicly but in a secret location. Nobody claims to have witnessed the execution of Jang. Park claims that up to 30 of Kim Jong Un’s aunt’s and uncle’s aides were killed far more publicly, some by firing squad, not using an ordinary gun, but four-barrel machine guns. The regime of Kim Jong Un seems to be facing major internal conflicts and it is only a matter of time before North Korea’s system of government will break down.
