Trial of Vietnamese woman accused of killing Kim Jong Nam to continue
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s attorney-general on Thursday rejected Vietnam’s request to free a woman accused of the murder of Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korea’s leader, and a court set April 1 for her trial to resume.
Huong and Siti Aisyah were charged with killing Kim by smearing his face with VX poison, a banned chemical weapon, at Kuala Lumpur airport in February 2017. Vietnam’s ministers of justice and foreign affairs are communicating with their Malaysian counterparts to secure his client’s release, Teh added.
The trial featured closed-circuit television images of two women allegedly assaulting Kim Jong Nam while he prepared to check in for a flight.
