Trial could expose Kim

TWO women are set to go on trial over the Cold War-style execution of Kim Jong-un’s half-brother in one of the world’s most high-profile murder mysteries.

Kim Jong-nam, 45, died an agonising death on February 13 as he waited to board a plane to Macau at Kuala Lumpur airport. He was killed using the toxic liquid nerve agent VX.

A South Korean spy agency initially said the death was part of a plot by North Korea leader Kim Jong-un.

North Korea has a history of ordering killings of people it views as threats to its regime.
