SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea's Kim Jong Un ordered the execution of 15 senior officials this year, including several who complained about the young leader's policies, South Korea's intelligence agency said Wednesday.

Those executed included two vice minister-level officials, the Yonhap news agency reported, citing legislators who attended a briefing by the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

Both were punished for opposing or complaining about Kim's directives, the legislators said.

The Kim dynasty has ruled reclusive and impoverished North Korea for more than six decades with an iron fist and a pervasive personality cult.


The NIS suggested Kim Jong Un was following the well-trodden path of his father and grandfather in using regular purges and executions to ensure discipline and loyalty.

Kim had his uncle and one-time political mentor Jang Song Thaek executed in late 2013 on an array of charges, including treason and corruption.

Jang had played a key role in cementing the leadership of the inexperienced Kim, who took over after the death of his father and long-time ruler Kim Jong Il in December 2011.

But analysts said Jang's growing political power and intervention in lucrative trade deals was resented by his young nephew.

The authorities in a border town between China’s northeastern Jilin province and North Korea have confirmed that three villagers were murdered last week after a media report that three men had crossed the border in North Korean military uniforms and carried out the killings.

The propaganda department in Shilong said in a statement on its social media account that after midnight on Saturday police received reports that a 67-year-old man, a 55-year-old man and his 26-year-old daughter had been murdered.

The public security authorities at city, prefecture and provincial level were investigating the case, the statement said.

South Korea’s national broadcaster Korean Broadcasting System reported on Tuesday that three armed soldiers who had fled from the North Korean army allegedly entered the small mountain village of Shiren on Friday afternoon and killed three Chinese villagers before fleeing.

It did not mention what had led to the violence.The report said the soldiers were carrying weapons, but gave no details.

The report said the Chinese authorities had dispatched huge numbers of officers, including armed police, to search the area where the suspects might be hiding.

Local residents told The Beijing News that people in the area were in shock. “We were all terrified after it happened,” a villager from a neighbouring village was quoted as saying.

He said he had heard that two victims died at the scene and the other died later after receiving medical treatment.

Last December, a deserter from the North Korean army shot four villagers to death after entering another village near Shilong. He was arrested by Chinese police the same day.

In September, a North Korean killed a family of three in the same village.]

You are wrong. I would vote for the PAP in the upcoming election if LHL shows his determination to reform the PAP and executes some of his useless and incompetent ministers like Zorro, Kee Chiu, $8 Cow or that deadwood Wooden.
