CCTV footage of what appears to the the assassination of the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Malaysia has been released by a Japanese TV channel. Kim Jong Nam, 46, who was known for his criticism of North Korea’s leadership, had lived abroad for some time. On Monday, a Japanese broadcaster released what appears to be CCTV footage of the deadly poison attack on Kim Jong Nam in the airport in Kuala Lumpur. Last week, Kim died from a seizure on the way to the hospital after complaining that a woman had sprayed a chemical on his face. The security camera footage, broadcast by Fuji TV, shows two angles of the attack in which a man, believed to be Kim, is grabbed by a woman in a white top. She puts her hands over his face and then walks away. A second woman is also seen leaving the scene. Kim is then seen stumbling and wiping his face before seeking help from airport staff.
