🇲🇾 Judge: 'Well-planned conspiracy' to kill Kim Jong-nam | Al Jazeera English

A Malaysian judge has ruled that two women accused of participating in the assassination of the North Korean leader's estranged brother must mount a defence, setting the stage for a lengthy case, which could last for several more months. The proceedings on Thursday could have ended with the court ordering the release of 25-year-old Indonesian citizen, Siti Aisyah, and Vietnamese national Doan Thi Huong, who is 28. They are accused of killing Kim Jong-nam by smearing a toxic agent, known as VX, on his face while he was at Kuala Lumpur's airport on February 13, 2017. The women say that they thought they were taking part in a prank for a reality TV show. Defence lawyers said the real culprits had left the country at a hearing last year. South Korean and US officials have said Kim Jong-un's leadership was behind the death. North Korea denies the allegation. Al Jazeera's Florence Looi reports from Shah Alam.
