Body embalmed

KUALA LUMPUR: The body of the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was embalmed this week in Kuala Lumpur, with no family member coming forward to claim the remains as a diplomatic spat with Pyongyang drags on.

It’s been over a month since Kim Jong Nam was murdered. Malaysian police say two women smeared super toxic VX nerve agent on his face at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Kim died within 20 minutes of the attack, before reaching the hospital. Since then, his body has been at a Kuala Lumpur morgue.
