Shah Alam, Malaysia (CNN) The Indonesian woman accused of using a deadly nerve agent to kill Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was freed Monday after Malaysian prosecutors withdrew the charge against her. The decision came as a surprise to many, including Siti Aisyah herself, and kicked off a dramatic day at the Shah Alam High Court. She is expected to depart for her home country later in the day, her lawyer Gooi Soon Seng said, adding prosecutors had given no reason for their decision. The prosecutors did not ask the judge to drop charges against Huong, a decision her lawyer criticised as "unfair." The trial is due to resume Thursday, when prosecutors are expected to announce whether they will continue with the case against her.
