Kuala Lumpur, Feb 18 (IBNS) : Malaysian police have arrested a North Korean man involved in the killing of Kim Jong-nam.
The Guardian reported that the detained man, identified as Ri Jong Chol, 46, is the fourth person to be picked up by investigators and the only suspect from North Korea.
The other three suspects hold Vietnamese, Indonesia and Malaysian documents.
Kim Jong-nam was the half- brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
He was assassinated in Malaysia.
North Korea reportedly tried to stymie the Malaysian investigation, attempting to block an autopsy on Kim Jong-nam’s body and demanding Malaysia release the corpse, a move authorities refuse until Kim’s family has provided an identifying DNA sample.
Late on Friday, North Korea’s ambassador to Malaysia broke the country’s silence on the apparent assassination in a heated statement to reporters in which he accused Kuala Lumpur of forcing an autopsy.
