KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—An Indonesian suspect in the attack on Kim Jong Nam said she was paid $90 to help apply a baby oil-like liquid to his face, which Malaysian police say contained a lethal nerve agent that killed the half brother of North Korea’s dictator.
Siti Aisyah, in her first meeting with Indonesian officials after more than a week in detention in Kuala Lumpur, said Saturday she didn’t know that the substance—subsequently identified by police as a banned, lethal nerve agent known as VX—was poisonous.
