North Korean business people are being recalled from China following the execution of top official, Chang Song-thaek, says a South Korean report.

Leader Kim Jong-un may be purging associates of Mr Chang, who was in charge of economic ties with China.

Mr Kim has been pictured by state media for the first time since the execution of Mr Chang, his uncle.

The South Korean government believes Kim Jong-un is trying to consolidate his power through a reign of terror.
