KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) — Lawyers for a woman accused of killing the half-brother North Korea’s leader said on Thursday they won access to witness statements after Malaysia’s Court of Appeal overturned a lower court ruling.
The trial of Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 26, was suspended in December as her lawyers argued with prosecutors over access to statements made by seven witnesses. It was not clear when the trial would resume.
Siti Aisyah is charged along with Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, 30, of poisoning Kim Jong Nam with liquid VX, a banned chemical weapon, at Kuala Lumpur airport in February 2017.
