Kim Jong-nam was attacked with VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia.
Kim Jong-nam was the eldest son of deceased North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and the half-brother of current North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Four North Korean suspects left the airport shortly after the assassination and reached Pyongyang without being arrested. Other North Koreans were arrested but were released without charge. Two women, one Vietnamese, the other Indonesian, were charged with murder. They claimed they thought they were part of a TV prank. In 2019, the murder charges were dropped. The Vietnamese woman, Đoàn Thị Hương, pleaded guilty to “voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means” and was sentenced to three years and four months
