KUALA LUMPUR: Strong evidence, which could finally put an end to the dispute over whether it was really Kim Jong-nam who was assassinated in klia2 on Feb 13, has surfaced. Experts with locus standi in handling identification procedures based on secondary identifiers told the NST that under the circumstances, the process would see his next of kin being interviewed via video-conference. Associate professor Dr Zafarina Zainuddin said a match of several secondary identifiers on the deceased would suffice for the authorities to make a positive identification. “In the case of Kim Jong-nam, a DNA sample is not necessary as the body is still perfectly recognisable. He can could be identified by his secondary identifiers such as his birthmarks, face, tattoos, fingerprints or dental records.” she said.
