Kim Jong-nam death: North Korea asks for return of body
15 February 2017 Asia
North Korea has asked Malaysia for the body of a man believed to be leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother.
Kim Jong-nam is thought to have been poisoned as he waited to board a flight in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
Local authorities are carrying out an autopsy to establish the exact cause of Mr Kim's death, but Pyongyang has reportedly objected.
Police have arrested one woman in connection with the death, but are still looking for other suspects.
According to reports, North Korea sent a number of representatives to the hospital where the autopsy was being conducted on Wednesday to ask for the return of the body.
