Malaysian police arrested another suspect. Somehow N. Koreans made things so easy for them. I am not sure that N. Koreans got so sloppy. So-called suspects may be duped into playing decoys, while the real hit was done by somebody else.

IGP: Another suspect detained in connection with N. Korean man’s death

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 ― Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar today confirmed that another woman was detained in connection with the death of a North Korean man by the name of Kim Chol.

An official statement on the arrest would be issued later today, he said when contacted by Bernama.

Meanwhile, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim, when contacted, said police were expected to make several more arrests following the arrest of the first suspect, a female, at the KL International Airport 2 yesterday.

The woman was in possession of a Socialist Republic of Vietnam travel document bearing the name of “Doan Thi Huong”, aged 29.

Last Monday, Kim Chol was reportedly at KLIA2 at 8am to board a flight to Macau an hour later.

Kim Chol reportedly died on the way to hospital.

Foreign media had reported that Kim Chol was actually Kim Jong-nam, an elder half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. ― Bernama
