North Korean defence minister Hyon Yong-Chol has been executed for falling asleep during military meetings and answering back to leader Kim Jong-Un.     

DAILY MAIL reports that Hyon Yong-Chol was killed in front of hundreds of bloodthirsty officials at a military camp in the capital Pyongyang on April 30.

A ZPU-4 anti-aircraft gun was reportedly used for his execution , a method cited in various unconfirmed reports as being reserved for senior officials who the leadership wishes to make examples of.
