ADVERTISEMENTMalaysian police say they are also searching for several North Korean suspects. North Korea has strongly denied any involvement in the killing, though Malaysian police are looking for three North Koreans including the second secretary at the North Korean Embassy. North Korea has studiously avoided identifying the victim as anyone other than “Kim Chol,” the name on the passport he was carrying. So news of his murder in Malaysia would be shocking to North Koreans on a number of levels. “We have a body of one person who has got a North Korean passport with the name Kim Chol.” –Eric Talmadge
