North Korea: Second Woman Arrested Over Airport Poisoning

North Korea

A second woman has been arrested in connection with the death of Kim Jong-nam, the brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Kim died on Monday after apparently being poisoned while waiting to board a flight in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia reports the BBC.

Police say they have now finished their post-mortem examination of his body, though the results have not yet been made public.

One woman, traveling on a Vietnamese passport, is due to appear in court.

The inspector general of the Royal Malaysia police, Sri Khalid Bin Abu Bakar, said the second woman was detained on Thursday over the death of “a Korean male”.

She was identified from airport CCTV footage and had an Indonesian passport.

Malaysia has yet to formally confirm that the dead man, who was traveling under the name Kim Chol, is Kim Jong-nam, but South Korea says it is certain.
