North Korea: Kim Jong Nam probably died of heart attack

Khalid had said previously that police would adhere to worldwide protocol to obtain information from Kwang Song, who has diplomatic immunity.

Following a Reuters report this week that the North Korean intelligence agency has been running an arms operations from Kuala Lumpur for years, Malaysian authorities have said two North Korea-linked companies are in the process of being struck off the company registry.

North Korea strongly denies responsibility, and its state media blamed Seoul and Washington for “resorting to political chicanery to bring down the social system in the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)”.

He is the only North Korean to face questioning over the murder of the estranged half-brother of North Korea’s leader. Kim Jong-nam was killed earlier this month in a Malaysian airport.

Malaysia’s attorney-general said on Thursday that he would be released because of insufficient evidence.

Two cars – a Jaguar and a BMW – left the North Korean embassy at about 2.20pm today.

The alleged North Korean leader’s half-brother can then be seen staggering around and asking for help, complaining of blurry vision – a symptom of VX poisoning.

Two women named Doan Thi Huong from Vietnam and Siti Aisyah from Indonesia were charged with his murder on March 01. Section 302 revolves around murder charges while Section 34 means that a collective criminal act will be liable for an act done by him or her alone. “Its use at a public place could have endangered the general public”.

“1) – Through a network of front companies North Korea is ‘flouting sanctions through trade in prohibited goods, with evasion techniques that are increasing in scale, scope and sophistication”.

Two women have so far been charged with murdering Kim, who died just minutes after the toxic VX nerve agent was wiped on his face at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

The warrant was issued for 37-year-old Kim Uk Il, who works for Air Koryo, North Korea’s national carrier, police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said. Kim is believed to have two sons and a daughter with two women living in Beijing and Macau.

Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world that maintains ties with the nuclear-armed nation.

North Korea has been known to arrange for people it considers a danger to its regime to be killed.
