Case Summary: VX Poison

On the day of February 13 of 2017, the half-brother of North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Nam, was assassinated at a Malaysian airport. After inspection and investigation of his death, it was determined that he was killed by a small dosage of VX gas, which is an extremely lethal nerve agent. Eye witnesses stated that they saw two women approach Nam from behind and swipe a “wet cloth” across his face, which is believed to have contained the poison. There is conspiracy that the assassination was set up by Kim Jong Un himself, as he saw his half-brother as a threat to his rule. Due to the fact that North Korea did not comply to dispose of their stock of VX gas after the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, they are suspected to have been responsible for supplying the poison. The two women responsible for the crime are believed to be of North Korean nationality, and two other North Korean suspects are wanted for connection to the murder. As of now, police have detained a Vietnamese woman, and Indonesian woman, and a North Korean man who have some connection to Kim’s death.
