Kim Jong Nam murder: Female suspects were groomed by suspected spy in China for past 3 months, says report

FEB 17, 2017

PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - The two women suspected to have murdered North Korean Kim Jong Nam had apparently lived in China for the past three months before their deadly "assignment".

According to a report by Malaysian Chinese-language newspaper China Press, both Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 29, may not be North Korean agents, but were possibly duped by a spy ring into committing murder at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Doan, a Vietnamese national, was arrested on Wednesday at KLIA before she could take a flight while Indonesian national Siti Aisyah was arrested at 2am a day later.

The two women were said to have lived in China for between one and three months to get to know a certain male individual. During this time, they also worked as female escorts, reported China Press.

The paper added that the man the women befriended was a spy who introduced Doan to the four men, whom police are hunting down in connection with the assassination.

Siti Aisyah got involved when Doan was asked by the man to find a partner to shoot a prank video.

The two women, who knew each other, apparently rehearsed the "spoof" many times and were able to carry out the process proficiently.

The report also said that Siti Aisyah was tasked with using a handkerchief to cover Jong Nam's face while Doan administered an injection.

The two women have claimed that they had no idea that it would lead to trouble as they thought it was only supposed to be a filming of the prank being carried out.

At some point, China is going to realize that maintaining the NORK regime just isn’t worth it.

In his letter to the son of Timur, Mehmed I Chelebi, the fourth sultan of the Ottomans, said: “My ancestors handled some inconveniences with their experience. Two sultans cannot live in the same country.” The execution of members of the dynasty for political reasons does not pertain only to the Ottomans. It was also practiced by the Sasanians, Romans, Byzantines and even the Muslim Andalusian states. However, the main reason for this practice in these kingdoms was to take over the throne instead of preserving the unity of the state and the livelihood of the people. On the other hand, thousands of people who died during the long-lasting wars for the right of succession in Europe should be remembered.

If the fat one is following this advice we will see many more killings.

I think N. Koreans had been tracking him for a long time. It is not something which started recently.

There is a report that Kim Jong-un sent Kim Jong-nam a message to return voluntarily but he balked. This could give N. Koreans renewed urgency to eliminate his half-brother. Even if this is not true, Kim Jong-un is facing more challenges lately, and may feel that there should be nobody out there to replace him, however remote the odds are.
