KUALA LUMPUR: Kim Jong Nam, the poisoned half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, told a friend in Malaysia his life was in danger six months before he was killed, a police official told a court on Tuesday. Four North Korean fugitives have also been charged with murder. The driver was instructed to take Kim to his lodgings and other places he wanted to go after Kim told Yoshio his "life was in danger" during a prior visit to Malaysia. Kim had criticized his family's dynastic rule of North Korea, some South Korean officials have said. Wan Azirul could not confirm Gooi's assertion, admitting he had not looked into Hong's background despite naming Hong as a suspect.
