Malaysia police deny prejudice against Kim murder suspects

A Malaysian police investigator said Thursday the absence of four North Korean suspects believed to have orchestrated the killing of their leader's half brother didn't cause prejudice against the two women who are on trial.
Defense lawyers say Doan Thi Huong of Vietnam and Siti Aisyah of Indonesia are scapegoats in the death of Kim Jong Nam at Kuala Lumpur's airport on Feb. 13 last year. Prosecutors say four North Korean suspects recruited the women and provided them with the banned VX nerve agent used to kill Kim before fleeing the country on the same day.
Chief police investigator Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz disagreed with the defense that the absence of the four North Koreans had caused prejudice.
