Malaysia deports North Korean man held over Kim Jong Nam death

Malaysian authorities have deported the only North Korean detained over the killing of Kim Jong Nam, and issued an arrest warrant for another man whose whereabouts are unknown.

Ri Jong Chol, who had been held since February 17, was released because of a lack of evidence to charge him and was handed over to immigration officials for deportation because he did not have valid travel documents, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
