In 2017, Kim Jong-nam, the oldest son of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, was assassinated. The circumstances of his death were entirely mysterious. He was exposed to a VX nerve agent at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. It is widely believed that he was killed on the orders of his half-brother, and current North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. Four North Korean suspects left the airport shortly after the attack, traveling back to Pyongyang.
An Indonesian woman, Siti Aisyah, and a Vietnamese woman, Đoàn Thị Hương, were charged with murder but said they thought they were taking part in a TV prank. In March 2019, Siti Aisyah was freed after the charge against her was dropped.
