The sons, daughters and the grandchildren of Jang's two brothers, too, were not spared, reports the Daily Mail, citing Yonhap news agency.

The report further states that the family members were first brought to the Pyongyang area of the country by Ministry of State troops and then executed.

The timing of their execution is not yet clear but sources told Yonhap that they might have been killed in December after Jang Song-thaek was killed.

The cold-blooded execution of 67-year-old Jang Song-Thaek was carried out on December 12, including his five close aides.

According to the Straits Times, 120 hounds were starved for three days, and then they were allowed to prey on Jang and five others until they were completely eaten up.

The report said the entire process lasted for an hour, with Kim Jong Un supervising it along with 300 senior officials.

Jang was considered the second most powerful official in the North.
