Pictures show Kim Jong-nam’s motionless body after a lethal dose of VX was smeared on his face at Kuala Lumpur airport
Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, in their 20s, are accused of smearing VX on Kim Jong-nam’s face in February in a hit that stunned the world
The estranged half-brother of North Korea’s leader had about 1.4 times the lethal dosage of VX nerve agent on his face after he was attacked at a Malaysian airport, a government chemist testified Tuesday.
Pure VX was on Kim Jong-nam’s body, in his eye and in his blood plasma, government chemist Raja Subramaniam said at the murder trial of two women accused of smearing the chemical weapon on Kim in the brazen assassination in February.
The testimony came after new pictures and video emerged showing what may be Kim’s final recorded moments of life after he fell perilously ill at the Kuala Lumpur airport on February 13.
The scene in the video appears almost casual, in contrast to the dramatic story of Kim’s death that topped news bulletins around the world.
After the gurney carrying Kim’s motionless body is brought into an apparently authorised personnel-only area of the airport for transfer to an ambulance, one of the five people with him summons the lift.
