Kim Jong- nam’s femme fatale

-

POP superstar Rihanna has been named the 2017 Harvard University Humanitari­an of the Year. The Grammy Awardwinni­ng singer will receive the award at a ceremony on Tuesday. Rihanna is being honoured for her charity work. Previous winners include former UN chief Kofi Annan and tennis legend Arthur Ashe. POLICE found thousands of cannabis plants worth more than $ 1.6 million in a raid on a former Ministry of Defence nuclear bunker. Officers said the 20- room Cold War complex in Chilmark, south- west England, had been turned into one of Britain’s most sophistica­ted drug dens. Police said it was “almost completely impenetrab­le”. RACY pictures of a woman suspected of killing North Korean leader Kim Jong- un’s half- brother have emerged.

Doan Thi Huong’s Facebook page, which has now been taken down, features pouting pictures including a snap of her wearing a shirt emblazoned “LOL” similar to the one worn by a fleeing suspect caught on CCTV. The 28- year- old worked at party venue, according to a Malaysian police, who arrested her over the murder of Kim Jong- nam at Kuala Lumpur airport on February 13.

Police believe Huong and an Indonesian woman poisoned Kim by applying a nerve agent on his eye and his face.

North Korea’s statecontr­olled media this week mentioned the case for the first time, saying Malaysia’s investigat­ion was full of “holes and contradict­ions”, although it did not acknowledg­e the was Kim Jong- nam.

But publicatio­n of news inside North Korea could be a sign of its concern over growing internatio­nal speculatio­n that Pyongyang dispatched a hit squad to kill Kim Jong- nam.

Malaysian police also have revealed they now want to question a North Korean Embassy official about Kim Jong- nam’s death. victim
