    ARMED men stood guard on Tuesday at the morgue holding the body of the assassinated half-brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, with officials denying reports the dead man's son had arrived to claim the remains.

    The corpse of Kim Jong-nam - who was killed last Monday at Kuala Lumpur airport - has been at the centre of a diplomatic row between Pyongyang and Malaysia, after the North insisted it be returned and objected to an autopsy being performed.
