'Important person' wanted over Kim Jong Nam murder, says Malaysia police chief
MALACCA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - An "important person" is among several people Malaysia police are looking for to assist in the Kim Jong Nam murder probe, the country's police chief said on Sunday (March 19).
However, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar declined to reveal details on the individuals. He said they "could be" North Koreans but refused to name the VIP.
"I can't reveal much but there are few more individuals we are after, apart from the three North Koreans who are believed to be holed up at their embassy in Kuala Lumpur," he said after launching a donation drive for retired policemen in conjunction with the 210th Police Day celebration at Taming Sari.
"But I cannot reveal who they are, except to say that we believe one of them is an important person," he told reporters.
Police had previously said the North Korean embassy's second secretary Hyon Kwang Song, 44, and Air Koryo employee Kim Uk Il, 37, were among the suspects.

Since N. Korean Ambassador to Malaysia was already expelled, it may not be him. If this person turns out to be some prominent Malaysian figure, it will create a fresh shock wave.
P!
...[N. Korea] ‘Important person’ wanted over Kim Jong Nam murder...
The little fat boy Brother.
Those two ought to team up!
Good background on Han-sol etc:
What distinguishes Kim Han-sol is his lineage. His father was the first son of the previous Great Leader, Kim Jong-il, which means that Han-sol can claim a direct line of descent from North Korea’s founding leader, Kim Il-sung. In North Korea, the Great Leader concept blends several ideas that run through Korean history: an almighty God, the Confucian worship of a parent, and a king with the Mandate of Heaven. The Great Leader myth was also built around what North Koreans call the Baekdu hyultong, or Baekdu bloodline, named after Mt. Baekdu, the tallest mountain in Korea and a symbol of Korean nationalism, which has supposedly blessed the Kim family with its holy energy.
Some thirty thousand North Koreans have defected to South Korea over the years, but politically connected individuals have sometimes sought to put more distance between themselves and the regime. Kim Han-sol and his family surely remember the fate of Lee Han-yong, a cousin of Kim Han-sol’s father, who defected to Seoul in 1982 and published a book critical of the regime in 1996, only to be killed by North Korean agents a year later.
