Lawyer for Kim murder accused slams 'unethical' authorities


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A lawyer for one of two women charged with assassinating Kim Jong Nam accused Malaysian authorities Monday of an "unethical" failure to share documents vital to the defense. Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, 28, have been charged with the murder of Kim, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in February. Police accuse them of wiping the banned nerve agent VX on Kim Jong Nam's face as he was about to board a flight to Macau, where he was living in exile. South Korea accuses North Korea of masterminding the killing, a charge it denies. The travel ban was lifted in late March after a deal was struck involving the return of Kim's body to North Korea.
