Kim Jong-nam death: Unravelling the mystery
It's got all the markings of a John Le Carre novel: the killing of the North Korean leader's brother with one of the deadliest chemical weapons created by man. But who by? And why? Many questions remain unanswered. Here's a look back at how the killing unfolded, the details that emerged, and the subsequent accusations and diplomatic row. He was waiting at a budget departure hall inside Kuala Lumpur international airport when the attack happened.
Leaked CCTV footage would later show the year-old man loitering in the budget terminal, a rucksack slung over his shoulder, ahead of his return flight to the Chinese territory of Macau at Suddenly a woman in a long-sleeve white top approaches him from behind.

Her hands grab his face, before she walks away. It's not clear if she uses a cloth or her bare hands to touch his face. The man reportedly told airport staff that "someone had grabbed him from behind and splashed a liquid on his face". He sought medical help at the airport, but later died en route to hospital. Who was Kim Jong-nam? Reports on the attack first start to emerge in South Korean media, who name the man as Kim Jong-nam - it's not until two days later that Malaysia confirms his identity.
To complicate matters, he was travelling on a passport under the name Kim Chol. It was not the first time Mr Kim had travelled under an assumed identity: he was caught trying to enter Japan using a false passport in He told officials he had been planning to visit Tokyo Disneyland. Many believe it was this incident that led to his father's decision to pass him over for leadership, forcing him to live a life in exile.
During a time of estrangement from his family, Mr Kim became one of the regime's highest-profile critics. Theories abound that North Korea might have been involved in his murder - what some are already calling an assassination - despite a lack of proof. South Korea was one of the first to point the finger at its northern neighbour.
North Korea's history of foreign assassinations. Malaysian authorities begin the autopsy, ignoring demands from North Korea to send the body back for investigation. Meanwhile, the first person suspected of involvement in the attack is arrested: a year-old Vietnamese woman named Doan Thi Huong. Police say she was identified from CCTV footage taken at the airport, where she was seen wearing a white top emblazoned with the letters "LOL".
Four days after the airport attack, Malaysia's deputy prime minister officially confirms the dead man is Kim Jong-nam. Another female suspect, Siti Aisyah, a year-old Indonesian, is named and arrested. Her Malaysian boyfriend, Muhammad Farid Jalaluddin, is briefly questioned by police.

Main players in mysterious killing. Events take a bizarre turn when Siti Aisyah tells police she thought she was taking part in a bizarre TV prank with Mr Kim. Indonesia's most senior policeman, Tito Karnavian, said Ms Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong had performed the prank on other men - persuading them to close their eyes before spraying them with water. Tensions between Malaysia and North Korea also start to simmer after North Korea's ambassador to the country says Pyongyang will reject the results of the autopsy - he does not trust the inquiry, he says.
Malaysia also refuses to hand over the body until it receives a DNA sample from Mr Kim's next-of-kin. A day later, Malaysian police widen their search to include four more suspects, all men from North Korea. The deputy police chief said the men had left Malaysia on 13 February, the day Mr Kim was killed, after arriving on different days within the previous fortnight.
