Kim Jong-nam, half-brother of Kim Jong-un, assassinated in Malaysia

[jhungary]

lol, you got to love the consiparcy theory.

The first one being : The women were "tricked" into performing the act, thinking it was a Prank?
First of all, would you prank someone in an airport by putting a cloth, not knowing anything, on someone's mouth? It's more or less the same line as I pay you $100 can you bring my friend's luggage over the custom as a prank, not knowing what is in that suitcase? Would you do it?

Second thing is, if you are untrained. How are you going to pull the Prank, and then disappear almost without a trace, do remember, they got away CLEAN, and all the way back to the taxi rank and fled in a taxi without someone notifying, can an untrained man or woman do that?

Then it comes to THAAD. What can South Korea achieve by Killing Kim Jong-nam? Let's assume Kim Jong-nam is tFat Kim go to guy for his overseas money, which is to support the missile technology, killing kim Jong-nam would mean money is either going to stop flowing into North Korean missile program, at least delay until the successor are found to control that money. Doing so, will IMPEDE the North Korean missile technology progress, which mean this will work AGAINST THAAD deployment as Missile threat from the North Disminished............

If Kim Jong-nam is not the go to guy for Fat Kim, then there are absolutely no point for South Korea to kill him anyway. He is a non-factor, he does not have good relationship with the North, he is in effect, on exile and also, most importantly, he is the only viable candidate for a puppet government if the Current Fat Kim regime is gone. Killing him, work AGAINST the whole South Korean policy of going to war with North Korea.....

lol, nonetheness, it's a good fun reading these non-sensal consipracy

Malaysia needs to respond to the DPRK's requests and at least grant access to the deceased by the DPRK officials. The two country can jointly carry out the investigation, which would prevent any conspiracy rumor on both sides.

Why not let the DPRK officials at least observe the procedures?

DPRK to reject Malaysia's autopsy report on citizen's death: envoy
Xinhua, February 18, 2017

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will "categorically reject" the post mortem conducted by Malaysia on its national who died in Kuala Lumpur on Monday and demands the immediate transfer of the body, said the DPRK embassy in Malaysia on late Friday.

"The Malaysian side forced the post mortem without our permission and witnessing, we will categorically reject the result of the post mortem conducted unilaterally excluding our attendance," DPRK's ambassador Kang Chol said in a statement delivered to the media outside the forensic department of Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

The victim, whom the Malaysian authorities claimed as Kim Jong Nam, the half brother of the DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un, was murdered in Kuala Lumpur on Monday.

Jong-nam murder: So who is Siti Aisyah, really?

PETALING JAYA: The second woman detained for allegedly murdering Kim Jong-nam, the estranged brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was apparently a divorced woman with a young son. She also had two different identities.

Malaysian authorities have identified her as Siti Aisyah, 25, from Serang, Indonesia, based on the passport she was holding when she was arrested.

According to Indonesian news portal Kumparan, based on identification records held by her village in Angke, Jakarta West, she had two separate entries, complete with different photos.

In the first one, her name is spelt as “Siti Aisyah,” with information saying she was born in Serang, Indonesia, on Feb 11, 1992. In the accompanying picture, her hair is tied in a ponytail.


In the second entry, her name was written as “Siti Aisah” and her date of birth is listed as Nov 1, 1989. In this picture, her hair is worn loose.

Kumparan reported that the ID (identification) numbers as well as her occupation on both entries differed.

As “Siti Aisyah,” she listed her occupation as entrepreneur; as “Siti Aisah,” she listed her occupation as housewife.

Kumparan quoted Angke village head Dwi Ariyono as saying that he did not know why Siti Aisyah had two separate IDs.

Siti Aisyah was also divorced, according to Indonesian news portal Detik.com.

Her mother-in-law Lian Kiong or Akiong, 56, told Indonesian Foreign Ministry officials on Friday that she and her family had no relationship with her since she divorced her husband Gunawan Hasyim.

A sealed handwritten letter dated Feb 1, 2012 was presented to the Foreign Ministry on Friday.

Signed by Siti Aisyah and Gunawan, with Lin Kiong as witness, the letter said that the couple had opted for a divorce as they no longer “possessed the compatibility and harmony of husband and wife.”

Lian Kiong said that following the divorce, Siti Aisyah hardly visited her in-laws in Tambora in West Jakarta, and only came around once a year to meet her seven-year-old son Rio.

“After the divorce, she never came around. The last time she came was on Jan 28.

“She came and stayed for the night. She spent the night with my grandson and left the next day,” Detik.com quoted Lian Kiong as saying.

She added that Rio had previously even refused to meet his mother because he knew she would leave eventually.

Kumparan reported that Siti Aisyah’s involvement in Jong-nam’s murder began when she was approached by a mysterious man at the nightclub that she worked at in Kuala Lumpur.

The man reportedly offered her US$100 (RM445) to carry out the act, which she believed to be a prank.

She is said to have accepted the deal because “she needed the money,” despite not knowing who Jong-nam or her other accomplices were.

She previously worked as a domestic helper in Jakarta before moving to Malaysia in 2013 with her then-husband.

Siti Aisyah was arrested by Malaysian police at 2am on Thursday after she was identified based on CCTV footage from KL International Airport 2 (KLIA 2).

Jong-nam, 45, was killed by two women who splashed his face with a chemical at the KLIA2 departure hall at about 9am on Monday. He was about to leave for Macau.

The women later got into a taxi and fled.

Interesting....
This is so NOT Korean....

Jong-nam murder: N. Korean man remanded for seven days

Saturday, 18 February 2017 | MYT 9:40 PM

SEPANG: The North Korean man who was arrested to assist in investigations into the killing of Kim Jong-nam has been remanded for seven days beginning Saturday.

Selangor police chief Datuk Seri Abdul Samah Mat confirmed this when contacted.

He said the remand order was issued by the Sepang magistrate’s court.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar was reported as saying that based on the identity card (i-KAD) in his possession, the suspect, who was detained at 9.50pm Friday, was identified as Ri Jong Chol, a citizen of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea.


Following the arrest, local and international media gathered at the Sepang police headquarters from 8am Saturday, expecting the remand proceedings to be conducted there.

A car from the North Korean Embassy was seen entering the compound of the police headquarters about 4.15pm.

The car was seen leaving the police headquarters almost an hour later.

At about 6.15pm, three police vehicles were seen entering the compound and a man, who looked like a Korean, got out from one of the cars under heavy guard.

Earlier, at about 11.15am, a car belonging to the Vietnamese Embassy was seen entering the police headquarters, leaving about 20 minutes later.

On Thursday, the remand proceedings involving two foreign women, one of them Vietnamese, were conducted at the district police headquarters.

Jong-nam, the elder half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) at 8am on Monday to board a flight to Macau.

An hour later, a woman suddenly covered his face with a cloth laced with poison.

Jong-nam, who was travelling under the name “Kim Chol,” died on the way to Putrajaya Hospital. – Bernama

Kim Jong-nam Was Killed by VX Nerve Agent, Malaysians Say

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The poison used to kill Kim-Jong-nam, the half brother of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was VX nerve agent, a substance listed as a chemical weapon, the Malaysian police announced Friday.

In a brief statement, Khalid Abu Bakar, the national police chief, said the substance was listed as a chemical weapon under the Chemical Weapons Conventions of 1997 and 2005.

Samples were taken from Mr. Kim’s skin and eye. The poison was identified in a preliminary analysis by the Center for Chemical Weapons Analysis of the Chemistry Department of Malaysia, Mr. Khalid said.

The statement gave the chemical name as Ethyl S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate.

The police chief’s announcement came just a day after North Korea denied any responsibility for Mr. Kim’s death, accusing the Malaysian authorities of fabricating evidence of Pyongyang’s involvement under the influence of the North’s archrival, South Korea.

With the North’s reclusive government on the defensive about the Feb. 13 killing of Mr. Kim, the estranged half brother of Kim Jong-un, at the airport for the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, a statement attributed to the North Korean Jurists Committee said the greatest share of responsibility for the death “rests with the government of Malaysia” because he died there. And in what could be seen as a threat to Malaysia, the statement noted that North Korea is a “nuclear weapons state.”

But in a case that has been filled with mysteries and odd plot twists, North Korea still would not acknowledge that the man killed was indeed Kim Jong-nam. And it gave no indication that it would agree to Malaysia’s demands to question a senior staff member at the North Korean Embassy in Kuala Lumpur in the investigation into Mr. Kim’s death.

Meanwhile, relatives and acquaintances of the two women Malaysia has accused of carrying out the killing — by applying poison to Kim-Jong-nam’s face as North Korean agents looked on — insisted that they must have been duped into doing so, though the Malaysian authorities say otherwise.

“I don’t believe Huong did such a thing,” said Doan Van Thanh, father of Doan Thi Huong, a 28-year-old Vietnamese woman being held in Malaysia. “She was a very timid girl. When she saw a rat or frog, she would scream.”

Mr. Thanh, a 63-year-old veteran who was wounded in 1972 during the war with the United States, said he had seen little of his daughter in recent years. He said she left the family’s home, in a small farming village south of Hanoi, at 17 to attend community college, where she studied to be a pharmacist.

She later left Vietnam to work in Malaysia without telling her family, Mr. Thanh said. He said she rarely visited. When she returned home in January for the Tet holiday, he said, she had little money for the customary gifts and stayed only a few days.

On Thursday in Nghia Binh, Ms. Huong’s hometown, her brother, Doan Van Binh, said that she posted on Facebook under the alias Ruby Ruby. Her Facebook photographs and the attached location information appear to show that she had visited Malaysia twice since January, and her Facebook friends include several people who write in Korean.

Mr. Binh said that Ms. Huong had also appeared briefly in a singing contest on the Vietnamese television show “Vietnam Idol” in 2016. In a short video clip of the performance, a panel of judges rejected Ms. Huong after she sang just one line: “I want to stop breathing gloriously so that the loving memory will not fade.”

North Korea has called for the release of Ms. Huong, an Indonesian woman and a North Korean man who are being held by Malaysia in connection with the death of Mr. Kim.

The statement on Thursday from the Jurists Committee was cited by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, in the first comment on the killing from the North’s official news media. The statement accused the Malaysian authorities of pursuing a case “full of loopholes and contradictions” that proved that its investigators “intended to frame us.” It said Malaysia had done so under South Korean influence.

According to the statement, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry and the local hospital first told the North Korean Embassy in Kuala Lumpur that Mr. Kim had died of “heart stroke,” asking North Korea to take the body and cremate it.

But Malaysian officials’ attitude began changing after the South Korean news media, citing anonymous sources, reported that Mr. Kim had been poisoned, according to the North Korean statement.

“The Malaysian secret police got involved in the case and recklessly made it an established fact” that the death had been a poisoning, according to the North Korean statement, which did not refer to Mr. Kim by name.

The statement questioned how Ms. Huong and the Indonesian woman accused in the killing, Siti Aisyah, 25, could have survived if, as Malaysian officials said, they used their hands to administer a deadly poison to Mr. Kim.

Ms. Siti grew up in Indonesia in similar circumstances to Ms. Huong’s, in a small farming village called Sindangsari, about four hours east of Jakarta. She went to school through sixth grade, married at 16 and divorced at 20, according to family members and official documents.

Family members and Indonesian officials have said they believe she was tricked into thinking that the attack on Mr. Kim was part of a comedy video, involving spraying liquid on unwitting victims in public. The Malaysian authorities have said that both women were aware that the liquid was toxic.

Rahmat Yusri, the head of the Jakarta neighborhood where Ms. Siti lived while she was married, said she was an unlikely assassin. He recalled that she did not have close friends.

“She is village girl, a naïve girl with a low education,” he said. “How can I believe that she’s a murderer? Particularly that she killed a famous person?”

The Malaysian authorities have said that four North Koreans were believed to have directed the attack and that they fled to their homeland after it was carried out. On Wednesday, the Malaysian police said they were seeking to question an official at the North Korean Embassy, Hyon Kwang Song, in the case.

Channel NewsAsia, a Singaporean news agency, reported on Thursday that Mr. Hyon had been recorded on closed circuit cameras at the airport after the killing, seeing off the four North Koreans as they boarded a flight on the journey back to their homeland.

What was VX doing in Malaysia?

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

What was VX doing in Malaysia?

Probably standard issue in the North Korean Embassy.

 

[Pak_Sher]

Probably the North Koreans saw him as a liberal and a threat.

 

[BHarwana]

There are many embassies in Malaysia why blame only North Korea. Why not investigate every possibility unless there is an agenda.
