A bodyguard could face slaughter by firing squad for letting dictator Kim Jong-un to leave home with white stains on his coat.
Images shared by state-run media outlet KCNA showed the North Korean tyrant with a mysterious stain on his arm, which sparked fears Kim's staff could be punished for failing to protect his dignity in public.
Michael Madden, who studies developments in the Hermit Kingdom on his website - the North Korea Leadership Watch - said those found responsible could be demoted or sentenced to hard labour in one of Kim's infamous penal colonies.
