Malaysia pledges to return Kim body after autopsy

KUALA LUMPUR, (MILLAT/APP/AFP) – Malaysia will return
the body of the half-brother of North Korea’s leader, the country’s deputy prime minister said Thursday, as police probing the airport assassination quizzed three suspects.
South Korea says female agents working for Pyongyang poisoned Kim
Jong-Nam as he readied to board a flight on Monday.
North Korea has made no comment on the killing, but its diplomats
objected to an autopsy Malaysian investigators carried out, a senior official said.
A woman with an Indonesian passport was taken into custody overnight,
a police statement said, and was being questioned along with a 28-year-old woman with a Vietnamese travel document detained on Wednesday.
The portly 45-year-old Jong-Nam had some kind of liquid sprayed in
his face , Malaysian police have said.
He was rushed to hospital suffering from a seizure, but was dead
before he got there.
