North Korea: The Death of Kim Jong-nam

In February 2017, Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea’s leader, was assassinated at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. He was attacked with a deadly nerve agent known as VX. Over the following days, two women from Indonesia and Vietnam were arrested in connection with the murder, although they claimed they had been duped into carrying it out under the guise of a prank. CCTV footage appeared to show North Korean agents coordinating the attack within the airport.

It reveals a riveting tale of a family feud and sheds light on the motives behind the killing, as well as the inner workings of one of the world’s most secretive states.
