The murder of estranged North Korean scion Kim Jong Nam was intricately planned and witnessed via security videos seen around the world, but it may never be really resolved.
KUAL LUMPUR, Malaysia — The murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s estranged half brother at an airport in Malaysia was brazen, intricately orchestrated and, thanks to scores of security cameras, witnessed by millions around the world.The murder charge was dropped against an Indonesian woman, who was freed last month.
By the time of his death, he wasn’t part of the North Korean political scene. But his freedom to reside in Macau indicated he had some Chinese support. It’s possible he was seen by some as a viable replacement if Kim Jong Un were ever to be removed from power. At Malaysia’s request, Interpol issued a “red notice” for the four North Koreans wanted in connection with the killing.
Investigations into Kim’s death led to a diplomatic spat between Malaysia and North Korea. Malaysia scrapped visa-free entry for North Koreans and expelled North Korean Ambassador Kang Chol after he rejected Malaysia’s investigation and insisted the victim was an ordinary citizen who died of a heart attack. Kang Chol also accused Kuala Lumpur of colluding with outside forces to defame North Korea.
After some high-level lobbying by Indonesia’s government, the Malaysian attorney general decided to drop the murder case against Aisyah on March 11.
