He was killed by anti aircraft gun in April, intelligence agency said. The North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, whose actions have shocked those in and outside North Korea.
Hyon Yong-Chol the defence minister was ordered killed by the supreme leader.
The NIS said the immediate cause of Hyon's killing was that the chief of the North Korea's People's Armed Forces, 66, may have been attempting to start a rebellion against North Korea's reclusive young leader.
The Defense Minister, according to South Korea's National Intelligence Agency, was seen dozing off during a recent military event presided over by Kim and that Hyon had on several occasions challenged the young ruler's authority. Kim is around 32 years of age, although that has not been verified.
How it obtained the information the NIS didn't specify. Kim is thought to have been behind a number of high-profile purges of top North Korean officials in recent times, including, notably, his uncle Jang Song Thaek, killed in 2013 for alleged treason.
Per Second News meanwhile, gathered from South Korean Agency Wednesday that the North Korean leader recently ordered his own aunt, a blood relative, to be poisoned.
Park, a director, said on May 5th or 6th of last year, Kim Jong Un ordered his aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, to be killed. Only his bodyguard unit, Unit 974, knew this -- now senior officials also know she was poisoned.
Park says Kim Jong Un wanted to silence his aunt, who complained angrily for months after her husband and presumed No.2 in the country Jack Theak was killed in December 2013 from Kim's order.
