Police identify body as Kim Jong-Nam's (Updated)

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have positively identified Kim Chol who was killed at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on Feb 13 as Kim Jong-Nam.
Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar made the announcement today but refused to divulge further details on how police made the identification.
"I'm not going to tell you how we identified the body due to the security of witnesses," he said.
He said that police have fulfilled its criteria through the law, and now that they are done with the body, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Health.
"We are done with the body, it will be with the Ministry of Health and under their jurisdiction," he said today at the closing ceremony of the pilot project for modern police stations at the TTDI Police station here.
He said that the relatives of the deceased who have been informed have not come forward to claim the body.
"According to the law only the next of kin and family members can come forward to claim the body," he said.
During the press conference, Khalid remained tight-lipped on investigations pertaining to the case.
He did however say that if the three North Koreans who are allegedly involved in the murder do not come forward, police will obtain an arrest warrant under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The section gives police the authority to request the attendance of a witness.
Jong-Nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, was assassinated by two foreign women who smeared VX nerve agent on his face at the airport departure hall before his flight to Macau.
North Korea have vehemently denied that the man known as Kang Chol is indeed Jong-Nam.
