What a porker! Kim Jong-un is all smiles as he visits a pig farm while 2million starve

Kim Jong-un laughed with regime officials as he visited the Thaechon Pig Farm, which is used to supply the country’s air force. The UN believes 2million people in the state are starving.

The daily ration includes just 650g of maize, rice or meat, according to the UN.

Defectors who survived the regime have told of people regularly starving to death, with bodies laid out in the streets.

Park Yeonmi, who fled the country in 2007 under the rule of Kim Jong-il, told The Express this month: ‘Every day I wondered if I was going to stay alive or not.

‘Food was limited as everyone was hungry and people like us, who were in the bottom class, were starving.

‘My mother traded in the market but this was not enough. So we had to find food in the mountains, eating dragonflies and grasshoppers and plants – anything to stay alive.’

Second man charged over Thompson’s murder | Perth Now

A second man has been charged with the murder of 22-year-old Sam Thompson, following a brief court appearance by a Brisbane man who faces the same charges.

Mr Thompson’s remains are yet to be found and forensic officers are continuing investigations at a home in Bald Hills which “remains a primary crime scene”, police say.

Police refused to confirm whether the Bald Hills man lived at the property, or if he was connected to it in any way.
