Suspect paid $90 dollars for prank attack on Kim Jong Nam

Malaysian police said they believed four of the eight North Koreans they were looking for, were already back in the North Korean capital Pyongyang.

Malaysia hasn’t directly accused the North Korean government of being behind the attack.

On Saturday, representatives from the Indonesian and Vietnamese embassies in Malaysia met with the two women. A senior police official told the Journal that at least one of the women was actually wearing gloves. The highly toxic gas was sprayed in his face as he was about to board a flight to Macau.

In previous statements, Khalid alleged the two women were trained to handle toxins and had practiced at two Kuala Lumpur area shopping malls before carrying out the February 13 attack.

Since taking office in 2011 the North Korean dictator has used anti-aircraft missiles as an execution method.

Elise notes that Malaysia, one of the few countries that has remained friendly with North Korea, may be reevaluating its relationship with the hermit kingdom in the wake of the high-profile poisoning.

North Korea denies killing the high-profile critic of the regime.

S Subramaniam, Malaysia’s health minister, said on Sunday that an autopsy revealed that Kim Jong-un’s sibling died due to a large amount of VX in his body. But the death of Kim Jong Nam shows that North Korea is willing and able to carry out assassinations on foreign soil, so we may see more of these attacks in the near future.

In grainy surveillance footage, the women appear to smear something onto Kim’s face before walking away in separate directions.

The next step would be to obtain an arrest warrant, Abdul Samah said. They had practiced at a couple of shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur, and were instructed to wash their hands after the attack, he said. The authorities also thoroughly searched for any leftover toxin at Kuala Lumpur International Airport over the weekend because the substance does not evaporate easily and on Sunday declared the airport safe. Kim was later put in an ambulance to the hospital, but suffered seizures on the way and died. It is banned worldwide except for official research purposes. Countries like Russian Federation started synthesizing a slew of other chemically similar “V series” nerve agents, including VR, VE, and so forth. VX has no taste or smell. It can be inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. “Without an antidote, the chemical eventually paralyzes the diaphragm, causing suffocation”.

People may not even know they have been exposed to VX as it is tasteless and odourless.

Late Wednesday, they released a Malaysian man who was said to be the Indonesian woman’s boyfriend.
