Got bullied by the
Dear young leader Kim Jong Un of North Korea. Difficult to play mind games with
the master of mind games. Lesson learned and be prepared in future as maybe
another opportunity will come.
IGP: Legally, Kim Jong
Un is Jong Nam’s next of kin
| March 31, 2017
IGP however dodges questions on the identity
of the person who requested Kim Jong Nam's body.
SUBANG JAYA: Although Inspector-General of
Police Khalid Abu Bakar remains coy over who wrote the letter requesting for
Kim Jong Nam’s body, he says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is legally the
deceased’s next of kin.
“The next of kin (wrote the letter). Legally,
Jong Un is Jong Nam’s next of kin,” Khalid said during a press conference here
today.
No reporter had mentioned Jong Un’s name
beforehand.
“We go about it professionally, according to the
law. We return the body to the next of kin who claimed the body. So we handed
it over to that next of kin,” Khalid added.
However, he refused to comment on whether Jong
Un had in fact written the letter.
A Reuters report today said China’s foreign
ministry confirmed that Jong Nam’s remains had been returned to North Korea.
“Relevant” North Korean citizens were also
allowed to return to Pyongyang, in a deal struck with the Malaysian government.
In return, the nine Malaysians initially barred from leaving North Korea were
finally brought home.
At the press conference today, Khalid added that
police had taken statements from the three North Koreans wanted for questioning
in the murder before they were allowed to leave the country.
Jong Nam was attacked by two female assailants
with a substance that an autopsy later revealed as the VX nerve agent, a
chemical weapon banned by the United Nations.
The incident took place on Feb 13, in klia2.
North Korea has refused to accept the Malaysian
authorities’ claim that the man murdered was Jong Nam.
They have insisted that the man was a North
Korean, Kim Chol, the name stated in the passport Jong Nam used to enter
Malaysia
