Kuala Lumpur
MALAYSIA yesterday charged an Indonesian woman and a Vietnamese woman with murdering the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader in an assassination using a super-toxic nerve agent that kills in minutes.
Siti Aishah, a 25-year-old mother of one from Jakarta, and Doan Thi Huong, a 28-year-old from rural northern Vietnam, could be hanged if they are convicted for the killing of Kim Jong Nam at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Feb 13.
