2 women charged with Kim Jong-Nam murder


A court in Malaysia has charged two women with the murder of North Korean leader’s half-brother Kim Jong-nam in Kuala Lumpur.
Indonesian citizen Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese national Thi Huong appeared in court on Wednesday to hear their charges over the case. Neither of the two women had a chance to make a plea and there won’t be a trial within the next several months. Malaysia’s police have accused them of applying a deadly nerve agent to Kim's face at Kuala Lumpur airport on February 13th. The two women reject the accusation, claiming they were taking part in a prank video. Meanwhile, North Korea has urged Malaysia to hand over Kim’s body, saying it does not accept the autopsy findings.
