Four other suspects in killing of North Korean Kim Jong Nam named in court
Four suspects accused of the deaths of two women accused of killing the brother of North Korea were first identified in a court in Malaysia on Thursday. Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese national Doan Thi
Huong were indicted in March along with four other unnamed for the murder of Kim Jong Nam at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on 13 February. The four unidentified suspects were only identified as Chang, James and Hanamori also known as "Grandfather" or "Uncle," investigating police officer Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz told the court, citing the results of the criminal investigation. Wan Azirul identified Mr. Y as a man seen in a video recording played in court. The man, wearing a black cap and wearing a black backpack, was seen in the video walking to the airport with a woman who looked like Huong. "Based on my investigation, Mr. Y was the person who applied a liquid on the second defendant," said Wan Azirul, referring to Huong. Meanwhile, Mr. Chang was seen meeting with Siti Aisyah in a restaurant in the third-level departure lounge of the airport in a separate video in court, said Wan Azirul. Hanamori had instructed Mr. Y, while James had "recruited" Siti Aisyah, said Wan Azirul, unprocessed. He did not say whether the four suspects were North Koreans or whether they were the same four Malaysian police said they left Kuala Lumpur for Pyongyang on the day of the murder. Malaysia has issued a red warning from Interpol, the nearest instrument to an international arrest warrant, on the four who came out, identified as the North Koreans Ri Ji Hyon, Hong Song Hac, O Jong Gil and Ri Jae Nam. Huong and Siti Aisyah are accused of murdering Kim Jong Nam by staining his face with VX liquid, a chemical poison banned by the United Nations.
