Malaysia’s top chemical weapons expert testified in court yesterday. CNA quoted Dr Raja Subramaniam, head of laboratories at the Chemical Weapons Agents Analysis Centre under the Malaysian Chemistry Department, as saying that he found byproducts of the VX nerve agent on the clothes and fingernails of both female suspects.

Doan Thi Huong and Siti Aisyah were charged with murdering a North Korean citizen with VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13. The victim carried a passport with the name Kim Chol, but is believed to be Kim Jong-nam, the older brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Until now, the two female suspects have maintained their innocence, and said they were only participating in a prank for a reality TV show.
