[N. Korea] URGENT: Women suspected of killing Kim's brother may be already dead

A new twist. Contrary to Japanese media report, one of the suspects was captured, according to Malaysian police. At this point, there will be false leads, conflicting information, and manhunt based on hunches. Who knows? The authorities mistook them as N. Koreans and went into wild goose chase, while their operatives safely got away. They could be even paid decoys.

KUALA LUMPUR: A Vietnamese identified as one of the two women allegedly responsible for the death of a Korean who is believed to be Kim Jong-Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, was arrested by police today.

The woman who is in her 20's was nabbed at klia2 at about 9am by detectives on duty.

She was apparently staying at a hotel in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi since the death of the Korean and it is being investigated why she had turned up at the klia2 today.

She is among six suspects comprising two women and four men who are being sought after by police in the case.

Sources said the images of the suspects who are believed to be aged between 20 and 50 were captured by closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) at klia2 on Monday morning when the victim died in what is said to be an assassination.

Police have also detained a taxi driver who ferried the two women out of klia2 soon after the incident.

Although it was initially thought that the victim had died of natural causes, investigators who had perused evidence and clues such as CCTV footage strongly believe his death was pre-meditated.
