South Korea says the government of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un ordered the killing of Kim Jong-Nam, who had lived overseas for years but had voiced criticism of the regime, and engaged two outsiders to carry it out. Four North Korean suspects fled Malaysia on the day of the murder, police have said. A third suspect, 46-year-old North Korean man Ri Jong-Chol, is also being held but was not brought to court Wednesday. Veteran North Korean diplomat Ri Tong-Il, deputy envoy to the United Nations, told reporters Tuesday he had come to Kuala Lumpur to discuss "the return of the body of the deceased DPRK [North Korean] citizen". He added the delegation was also seeking the release of the North Korean suspect.
