When staff complained about North Korea’s frequent power outages, the furious despot reportedly launched into a tirade before having the manager shot and killed
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is reported to have executed the boss of an aquarium after several dozen baby turtles starved to death. Kim is pictured above berating staff during a visit to the terrapin farm in February this year.
The tyrant became angry after workers claimed many baby reptiles were dying because of frequent power outages and a lack of adequate food supplies. He then ordered the execution of the terrapin farm’s manager, who was taken outside and shot to death, according to South Korea news agency the DailyNK.
An unnamed North Korean source told the paper
“The manager was shot and killed after Kim Jong-un made his field guidance tour to the terrapin farm near Taedong River in Pyongyang. He was executed because some of the tanks were not adequately supplied with food and water, leading to the death of a lot of terrapins.”
Snapping: The despot ordered the aquarium boss to be executed
North Korea’s young leader is no stranger to capital punishment.
He has ordered the executions of 1,382 people since the year 2000, a report from the Korean Institute for National Unification claimed this week.
And just last month he executed his new airport architect because he didn’t like the design.
North Korea expert Jean Lee told VICE: “These kind of executions are warning signals to the people, if they violate their country’s laws there will be consequences.”
