Kim Jong-un reportedly executed a general by plunging him into 'a piranha-filled fish tank.'

The unnamed general, accused of plotting a coup, is said to be the one of the casualties of this novel execution method, as reported by the Daily Star.

It's claimed the enormous fish tank was built within Kim's Ryongsong home.

Allegedly, the victim had his arms and torso slashed with knives before being cast into the tank.

Sources suggest it remains uncertain whether the general was killed by the fish, succumbed to his wounds or drowned.

The North Korean leader is believed to have drawn inspiration from the 1977 James Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me', according to the report.

In the film, antagonist Karl Stromberg dispatches his adversaries by casting them into a shark-infested aquarium.

Kim's aquarium is thought to house several hundred piranhas 'imported from Brazil.'

These carnivorous fish possess razor-sharp teeth capable of stripping flesh from a body in just minutes.

Since assuming power in 2011, Kim has allegedly eliminated 16 senior officials.
