Half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un assassinated in Malaysia

Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, has been killed at an airport in Malaysia after being sprayed in the face by an unidentified liquid, police have said.

The the older half brother of the North Korean dictator complained to staff at Kuala Lumpur international airport that his face had been sprayed while he was queuing up for a flight to take him to Macau.

He was in “extreme pain”, Abdul Samah Mat, the police chief of Selangor told the Telegraph.

“Kim Jong-nam told KLIA staff that his face was feeling extremely pain because of an unidentified liquid sprayed at him. He was then taken for treatment at KLIA Clinic.

“We will look through the CCTV to find if there’s any suspicious persons in the airport.”

He added that police were also awaiting the results of a toxicology report to confirm what the the unidentified liquid was.

Mr Kim, who spent large periods of time outside North Korea, had spoken out publicly against his family’s dynastic control of the state.

Earlier reports in South Korean media, quoting unnamed government sources, claimed Mr Kim died after being jabbed by a poisoned needle by two women at the airport.

Mohmad Salleh, the Malaysian CID director, told the Telegraph:  “Kim Jong-nam was feeling unwell on Monday morning while he was waiting for a flight to Macau at KLIA.

“He was taken to KLIA clinic for further treatment, but because of the condition he was in, he was rushed to Putrajaya hospital, but passed away soon after arriving.

“Police have classified the death of Kim Jong-nam as sudden death and are waiting for the full postmortem report to decide further action.”
