SEPANG: Police have denied reports that the next of kin of Kim Jong-nam (pic) would be arriving on Saturday to assist in identifying the body. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said his deputy, Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim, was misquoted in saying that a family member "is expected to arrive in Malaysia" to identify and claim the body. Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was killed after two women swabbed his face with a chemical at KL International Airport 2 on Feb 13 as he was waiting to board a flight to Macau. Police have identified the chemical used in the murder as VX nerve agent.
