North Korean ambassador condemns ‘political’ investigation into assassination of Kim Jong-nam
[SCMP]  North Korea’s top envoy in Kuala Lumpur has denounced Malaysia’s investigation into the apparent killing of the exiled half brother of North Korea’s ruler, calling it politically motivated and demanding a joint probe into the death."The investigation by the Malaysian police is not for the clarification of the cause of the death and search of the suspect, but it is out of the political aim," Ambassador Kang Chol told news hounds on Monday. Police had "pinned the suspicion on us," he said, calling on Malaysia and the international community to work with North Korea on a joint investigation. Watch: leaked video appears to show killers attacking Kim Jong-nam Malaysia also confirmed it had recalled its ambassador to Pyongyang, as a spat over the investigation into the killing of North Korean leader Kim PudgeJong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... ’s half brother intensified, after Malaysia rejected demands from North Korean diplomats to hand over the body of Kim Jong-nam. "The Ministry emphasised that as the death occurred on Malaysian soil under mysterious circumstances, it is the responsibility of the Malaysian Government to conduct an investigation to identify the cause of death," a foreign ministry statement said of the meeting with the North Korean ambassador.
