South Korean Media: Kim Jong-un Ordered The Execution Of His Uncle's Entire Family

From Yonhap:

The executed relatives include Jang's sister Jang Kye-sun, her husband and Ambassador to Cuba Jon Yong-jin, and Ambassador to Malaysia Jang Yong-chol, who is a nephew of Jang, as well as his two sons, the sources said.

All of them were recalled to Pyongyang in early December and executed, they said. The sons, daughters and even grandchildren of Jang's two brothers were all executed, they said.


It is unclear if Jang's wife, who is the younger sister of Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, is among those ordered executed.
