Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong of Vietnam have pleaded not guilty to killing Kim Jong Nam on Feb. 13 at a crowded Kuala Lumpur airport terminal. They are accused of wiping VX on Kim’s face in an assassination widely thought to have been orchestrated by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “The presence of VX precursors and VX degradation products confirms the presence of VX itself,” he told the court. Raja earlier described VX as the “deadliest nerve agent created” and literature showed that 10 milligrams could be fatal. He agreed with the prosecutors’ assertion that Kim didn’t inhale VX because no nerve agent was detected on a nasal swab.
