馬來西亞將就金正男暗殺案提出指控
Malaysia's attorney general says two women arrested in connection with the killing of the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will be charged Wednesday with murder.
The two suspects, Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, have said they thought they were participating in a television prank show. The charges they will face carry the death penalty.
Kim Jong Nam died February 13 shortly after two women smeared what Malaysian authorities say was VX nerve agent on his face at a Kuala Lumpur airport. The attack was captured on the airport's security cameras, which showed Kim talking with police and being taken to a medical unit.
A third person, a North Korean, is also in police custody. Authorities have also identified seven more North Koreans as suspects wanted for questioning.
North Korea's government has not said positively that the man killed was Kim Jong Nam. A high-level delegation that included Ri Tong Il, North Korea's former deputy ambassador to the United Nations, traveled Tuesday to Kuala Lumpur to seek the return of the body and the release of the North Korean who is being held.
Kim Jong Nam was the older estranged brother of Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Nam was once considered the heir apparent to lead North Korea, but he fell out of favor with their father, the late dictator Kim Jong Il, after a failed 2001 attempt to enter Japan on a forged passport to visit Disneyland. Since then, Kim Jong Nam had lived in virtual exile, primarily in the Chinese territory of Macau.
馬來西亞司法部長說，因殺害朝鮮領導人金正恩的同父異母兄弟金正男而被捕的兩名女子將於星期三受到謀殺指控。
這兩名嫌疑人是印度尼西亞的茜蒂·艾莎（Siti Aisyah）和越南籍的段氏香（Doan Thi Huong），她們都表示，以爲自己參加的是電視惡作劇。她們面臨的指控可被處以死刑。
今年2月13日，金正男在吉隆坡機場遭到兩名女子向他臉上塗抹馬來西亞當局所說的VX神經毒劑，不久後身亡。機場的安全攝像捕捉到的襲擊畫面顯示，金正男與警察交談，然後並被送去就醫。涉案的第三人、一名朝鮮人也被警方拘留。當局還確認另有七名朝鮮人爲應受到問訊的嫌疑人。
朝鮮政府沒有明確表示遇害者是金正恩。包括朝鮮前駐聯合國副代表李同一在內的一個高級代表團星期二前往吉隆坡，要求馬來西亞當局返還金正男南遺體並釋放在押的朝鮮人。
金正男是金正恩的兄長。金正男曾被認爲是領導朝鮮的繼承人，但他在2001年試圖以僞造護照進入日本參觀迪斯尼樂園後，失去了他們的父親、已故朝鮮領導人金正日的信任。
從那以後，金正男基本處於流亡之中，主要住在中國的澳門。
