The aunt of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un died from a stroke during an impassioned argument about her husband's execution, a defector from the secretive nation has revealed.
Kim Kyung Hui, 68, was the sister of Kim's late father Kim Jong II and perhaps the most prominent figure in the oppressive regime.
She was a close aide to her own brother Kim Jong-il for decades, assuming senior positions in the party and becoming a four-star general in 2010
But her husband, Jang Song Thaek, was executed in December, reportedly by a firing squad.
Kim Kyong Hui, who is often the only female face on official photographs of ranks of generals and party leaders, was tasked with transforming her nephew into a figurehead with a reputation for strong military tactics who is able to handle an international crisis.
Jang Song Thaek and Kim Kyong Hui met at university and married in 1972.
They have no surviving children, according to the South Korean government-run Information Centre on North Korea - their only child, a daughter, committed suicide in 2006 at the age of 29 while studying in Paris, according to South Korean media.
While Ms Kim disappeared from public view for six years after 2003, she re-emerged to a more powerful role, being made a four-star general in 2010.
She also owns the only burger restaurant in Pyongyang, where the menu offers 'minced meat and bread' rather than using the American word 'burger'.
