man and a second woman have been arrested in connection with the killing of Kim Jong-nam, the North Korean leader’s half-brother, who was reportedly poisoned by two female assassins as he waited for a flight in Malaysia, police have said.
The suspects were picked up separately on Wednesday and Thursday. The female suspects were identified using surveillance footage from Kuala Lumpur International airport, where Kim Jong-nam fell ill on Monday morning before dying on the way to the hospital.
Police official Abdul Samah said officers detained a Malaysian man, who is believed to be the boyfriend of the second female suspect, who was arrested carrying Indonesian travel documents.
The Malaysian inspector general said the second female suspect had been identified as Siti Aishah, an Indonesian national. Her birthday was given as 11 February 1992, and place of birth as Serang, Indonesia. It is not clear if her passport was genuine.
Samah said the man had provided information that led to the arrest of the woman.
