KUALA LUMPUR - The prosecution on Wednesday (Oct 4) presented in court samples taken from the urine, blood and liver tissues of Kim Jong Nam on the third day of his murder trial.

The prosecution said the VX nerve agent, which the United Nations has classified as a weapon of mass destruction, caused the death of the 45-year-old North Korean on Feb 13.

The victim's bag, T-shirt and underwear was also presented in court on Wednesday when the head of the Forensic Pathology Department at Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Dr Mohd Shah Mahmood, gave his testimony. He performed the autopsy on Kim Jong Nam.

I suspect that the two have family who would be severely endangered in North Korea. Will that come out during the trial?

Two women charged with his murder - Siti Aisyah, 25, from Indonesia, and Doan Thi Huong, 29,
from Vietnam -

Hummm That begs the question as to why they did it.

The defence lawyers said on Monday the two suspects were duped by the North Koreans into thinking they were acting in a prank television show and had no idea who the victim was.

They were set up. It’s Kim and his espionage agents who should be executed for the murder. But Kuala Lumpur’s gotta hang SOMEBODY!
