BLOODTHIRSTY tyrant Kim Jong-un has reportedly had a former key crony executed in a savage clampdown inside his regime, sources have claimed.

South Korean MP Youn Kun-young told the country’s parliament that his county’s National Intelligence Service had confirmed that Ri had been “purged”, but added that “whether he was executed remains unclear”. Ri is the highest-profile North Korean figure to have been killed for several years. It comes as Kim – who has been his country’s supreme leader since 2011 – prepares to celebrate his 39th birthday on Sunday.
