Malaysian authorities want to speak with a North Korean
embassy official and airline employee as part of their investigation into the murder of Kim Jong Nam.
The two being sought are Hyon Kwang Song, who worked at the North Korean embassy in Malaysia, and Kim Uk Il, a staff member of the North Korean
carrier Air Koryo, Malaysian Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar told a Wednesday news conference. Both are still in Malaysia, he said.
Kim Jong Nam was the estranged half-brother of
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. He died last Monday after a suspected poisoning while trying to catch a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Macau.
Security has been increased at the morgue where Kim Jong Nam's body is being held after an attempted break-in, Bakar told reporters.
But he wouldn't be pushed on whether the break- in suspects were North Korean.
"We know who they are. No need to tell you," he said. Royal Malaysian Police Special Forces personnel stand guard inside the compound of the forensic wing at Hospital Kuala Lumpur in the early hours of Tuesday, where the body of a North Korean man suspected to be Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, is being kept.
