The uncle of Kim-Jong-un was killed after being hunted down by dogs and stripped in a cruel execution.
A Chinese state-backed newspaper claimed that Jang Song-thaek was killed and fed to 120 hounds that had been starved for a total of three days, before devouring his human flesh in 2013.
Jang was once described by the state as "despicable human scum, worse than a dog".
