Malaysian police have detained a woman holding a Vietnamese passport and are seeking other foreign suspects for an investigation into the apparent assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. A 28-year-old woman, Doan Thi Huong, had been positively identified from CCTV footage and was alone at the time of her arrest, the Malaysia inspector general said.
The estranged older brother was once considered the heir apparent but lived a life in exile. He told medics at Kuala Lumpur airport on Monday that he was attacked “from behind” with a chemical spray while waiting to board a 10.50am flight to Macau, where he had lived. He died in an ambulance on the way to hospital. Malaysian government sources claim North Korean officials in Malaysia objected to an autopsy being conducted on the body.
