신중한 말레이...김정남 수사 길어지나
It's been over a week since the news of the death of Kim Jong-un's brother, Kim Jong-nam, broke, but the post-mortem toxicology results are still pending,... meaning the cause of death remains unconfirmed.
Meanwhile the relationship between Malaysia and North Korea has soured over the handling of the case.
Kwon Jang-ho sums up the current situation.
So far three arrests have been made, a further four suspects have been identified and a post-mortem on the body has taken place, but the circumstances around the death of Kim Jong-nam remain unclear.
The initial details of the autopsy carried out last Wednesday confirmed that he did not die of a heart attack, as suggested by North Korea's ambassador, but Malaysian authorities confirmed on Tuesday no physical wounds or puncture marks were found.
This corroborates reports that he might have been poisoned by a cloth placed over his face, rather than a needle, but the toxicology report has yet to be released.
The identity of the body has also not been verified.
Malaysian police have reached out to Kim's family members for a DNA sample, even offering his son Kim Han-sol protection if he were to come to Malaysia, but so far no one has come forward.
The suspects in custody include one Vietnamese woman, one Indonesian woman and one North Korean man, Ri Jong-chol.
The two women, who are thought to have carried out the attack, have claimed innocence,... saying they thought they were taking part in a TV show prank.
Ri has claimed he had no knowledge of the incident.
Meanwhile, diplomatic tensions between Malaysia and North Korea have become strained over the incident.
After the North Korean ambassador gave an unprecedented press conference on Monday, demanding the return of the body and saying the Malaysian police's investigation couldn't be trusted, the Malaysian government had a strong reaction.


"The statement by the ambassador was totally uncalled for. It is considered diplomatically rude on his part. But Malaysia will stand firm."

The Malaysian government also recalled its ambassador in Pyongyang, who arrived back in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

The Malaysian Police have just started a news conference, where they're expected to give more information on the progress of the investigation so far.
We will bring you the details on that in a later newscast.
