- Story Text:Two women alleged of killing the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader arrived in court on Tuesday (May 30).
Siti Aishah, 25, from Jakarta, Indonesia, and Doan Thi Huong, 28, from rural northern Vietnam, face the death penalty if convicted of killing Kim Jong Nam at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13.
Tuesday's hearing saw the prosecutors' request that the two women be tried jointly and for the case to be transferred to a higher court.
Aishah and Huong have told their respective diplomats that they were unwitting pawns in an assassination that U.S. officials and South Korean intelligence have said was organised by North Korean agents. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
