This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 14 August 2015.
He was executed within a year into his job and, it was carried out in the month of May. He has not been seen in public since December and Pyongyang has announced his replacement in July. The reason for his execution was for voicing discontent with the forestry policies of Kim Jong Un.
Earlier, Hyon Yong Chol, the Defence Minister, was reportedly blown apart by an antiaircraft gun in April because he had dozed off at a military parade. He was executed in front of a large crowd of officials to set an example to others.
It may be recalled that the dictator's uncle, Jang Song Thaek, had been killed in 2013 after being charged with treason and corruption. Moreover, many other officials are believed to have been killed since Kim Jong-Un took over the reins after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, in 2011.
