Before the murder, North Korea could count Malaysia as one of its strongest friends. "We are trying to physically identify all the embassy staff who are here," deputy home minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed told reporters outside the North Korean embassy. By early afternoon, Malaysian police had removed tape and a police car blocking the North Korean embassy driveway. The only North Korean suspect to be apprehended was deported on Friday, released due to insufficient evidence. US officials and South Korean intelligence suspect North Korean agents were behind the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, who had been living in Macau under China's protection.
