Kim Jong Nam murder suspect 'thought face-smearing was prank for show'

A Vietnamese woman accused of killing the North Korean leader's estranged half-brother told police she realised she had been used to murder him after she was detained, her lawyer has said.

Doan Thi Huong and co-defendant Siti Aisyah, from Indonesia, were charged with murdering Kim Jong Nam at Kuala Lumpur's airport on February 13 last year.
