South Korea has said it believes the North Korean regime is involved in the murder of Kim Jong-nam.<\/p>\n
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s half-brother was killed at Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur airport last week.<\/p>\n
“We believe the North Korean regime is behind this incident considering five suspects are North Koreans,” said Seoul’s unification ministry spokesman.<\/p>\n
Malaysian police have already detained one North Korean and they say they are looking for four more.<\/p>\n
Deputy national police chief Noor Rashid Ismail identified the latest North Korean suspects in a press conference on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He said the men left Malaysia last Monday, the day Mr Kim was killed.<\/p>\n
“The four suspects are holding normal passports, not diplomatic passports,” he said.<\/p>\n
Police believe poison was sprayed into Mr Kim’s face he waited to board a flight to Macau.<\/p>\n
Four other people have already been detained in connection with his death.<\/p>\n
The four are: the North Korean, an Indonesian woman, a Malaysian man, and a woman with a Vietnamese passport.<\/p>\n
The Indonesian national, named as Siti Aisyah, is said to have told Malaysian police she had been paid to perform what she thought was a prank.<\/p>\n
