Women Charged With Killing Kim Jong-Nam Made To Revisit Crime Scene [Photos]
Two women charged with killing Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea's leader, are revisiting the crime scene in Malaysia.
Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong were at Kuala Lumpur airport this morning.
The pair are accused of rubbing the highly toxic VX nerve agent on Mr Kim's face as he waited for a flight.
They have pleaded not guilty to murder, saying it was a TV prank and they were tricked by North Korean agents.
Pyongyang has denied any involvement in the 13 February killing, but four men - believed to be four North Koreans who fled Malaysia on the day of murder - have also been charged in the case.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport was packed with journalists this morning as the women arrived, escorted by dozens of security officers.
Siti Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong wore bullet proof vests, and were seen in wheelchairs at one point.
They were accompanied by their lawyers and the judge presiding over the trial, local media reports.
They are expected to visit the check in hall where Mr Kim appeared to have been attacked, and the medical centre where he sought assistance.
If found guilty, the women face the death penalty. Their defence lawyers are likely to argue that the real culprits are the North Korean agents, who left Malaysia.
Mr Kim, who was in his mid-40s, was the estranged older half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
At the time of his death, he was believed to have been living in self-imposed exile in Macau and was thought to have had some links to China

Customs Kill Man During Clash With Smugglers
Two months before the date, he was felled by stray bullets fired by some officials of the Nigeria Customs Service at a checkpoint in the community.
Punch Metro learnt that the officials had on Sunday stationed their van at the checkpoint to prevent smugglers, who were hiding in a bush, from gaining entry into the town.
The smugglers reportedly hauled stones and other objects at the officials to chase them away from the area.
The leader of the customs team was said to have been hit by a stone, prompting the officials to respond with gunfire.
An account of the incident indicated that Ayomaya was on a motorcycle, returning from a filling station in the area, when the bullets hit him in the head.
Punch correspondents gathered that after the incident, Customs operatives deserted their checkpoint from Ajilete to Oke Odan, for fear of attacks by enraged residents.
In another version, the father of two children was said to have gone to clean a church in the community and was returning home around 9am when he was shot.
But a resident, who identified himself simply as Akanbi, told one of our correspondents that Ayomaya had rushed to the scene on hearing that the smugglers were throwing stones at the officials.
He said, “Some smugglers went to pick a car at Olu Odo. They saw the customs officials at the checkpoint and started throwing stones at them. A stone hit their boss. Paul (Ayomaya) heard about the incident and decided to go to watch.
“The customs started shooting and stray bullets hit him in the head. He died on the spot. He had told his wife that they would move to his new house in December, not knowing that he was going to die. He was a kind person.”
Efforts to speak with the wife proved abortive as she was said to be too distraught to speak on the incident.
Meanwhile, some friends of the deceased, residents and social media users had lamented that the killing of innocent persons by customs officials was becoming rampant.
Reacting to the incident, the Public Relations Officer, NCS, Ogun Area Command, Abdullahi Maiwada, said the command had got intelligence report that some suspected smugglers had smuggled three tokunbo vehicles into the village from neighbouring Republic of Benin through the Idiroko border.
He said the operatives stormed the village in search of the smugglers and impounded one of the alleged smuggled vehicles, a Toyota Tundra pickup van.
He added, “It was when our operatives wanted to move the impounded vehicle to our Idiroko office that some hoodlums barricaded the roads with various objects.
“Since our operatives did not want to shoot anyone, they started shooting continuously into air to scare away the hoodlums and to secure their own lives.
“Eventually, our operatives succeeded in taking the impounded vehicle away.
“We later got the information that someone was hit by a stray bullet and he died instantly in the village.
“The person was not even among the hoodlums who blocked the road. It is a very sad development.”
When asked who fired the bullet that killed the victim, Maiwada said he could not say from where the bullet came from.
