The two women on trial in the assassination of the North Korean leader’s half brother told the court on Thursday that they will testify under oath in their defense.
Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong are accused of smearing VX nerve agent on Kim Jong Nam’s face last year. They have said they thought they were taking part in a prank for a TV show.
A judge ruled Thursday the women should begin entering their defense, which could last several months.
High Court Judge Azmi Ariffin said it can be inferred from evidence presented in court that there was a „well-planned conspiracy“ between the two women and four North Korean suspects at large to kill Kim „systemically.
