Siti Aisyah, an Indonesian national, was freed after Malaysian prosecutors withdraw charges against her.
One of two women accused of killing Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was freed suddenly on Monday after months of claiming she had been duped into carrying out the hit, believing she was on a reality TV show.
Prosecutors have not dropped the charges against Huong, a move characterized by her lawyer as “unfair.” Her trial is scheduled to resume on Thursday. According to GQ, which reported extensively on the assassination, Aisyah and then Huong smeared the liquid across the member of North Korea’s ruling family and then ran off into the crowd at the airport. The United Nations has classified the liquid VX as a weapon of mass destruction. The CDC has said the nerve agent is the “most potent of all nerve agents.”
