Captured by Malaysian airport security cameras, the video shows a rather calm team of green-shirted medical professionals pushing a stretcher into a room, where they summon an elevator. The elevator takes about a minute to arrive.
A police investigator told a court in the majority-Sunni Muslim nation that other videos related to the incident showed Doan Thi Huong, a 28-year-old Vietnamese woman, making an “aggressive” attack on the North Korean man in Kuala Lumpur International Airport February 13. Indonesian woman Siti Aisyah has also been accused of being an accomplice in the alleged murder of Kim Jong-nam.
In February, then-Malaysian Police Chief Khalid Abu Bakar said VX (“venomous agent X”) was detected on Kim’s face. VX is banned as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations’ 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention. Just one drop of the tasteless, odorless oil would have been sufficient to kill Kim, the RAND Corporation’s Bruce Bennett told the BBC the same month.
Many observers suspect the killing was ordered by Pyongyang, but the North Korean government has denied such allegations while stating Malaysia has “sinister” intentions of its own.
