Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, who is charged for the murder of Kim Jong Nam, is escorted by police as she leaves Sepang court, in Malaysia April 13, 2017. Kim Jong Nam is believed to have met the US citizen for two hours at a hotel in Malaysia and picked up the money while in the country, the newspaper said, citing unnamed officials from the country’s investigation authorities. The eldest son of late leader Kim Jong Il was killed at the airport by two women who swiped VX nerve agent on his face, according to Malaysian authorities. South Korean government officials have speculated that Kim Jong Un was behind the murder of his half-brother, a critic of his leadership who had lived outside the country for years. Kim Jong Nam held a diplomatic passport so his luggage wasn’t subject to thorough searches when entering and leaving the country, the Asahi said.
