Previously, on March 10, Malaysia confirmed that the person who died at Kuala Lumpur airport on February 13 was Kim Jong-nam. However, at that time, they refused to disclose the reasons for their conclusion.

Reuters quoted Hamidi as telling reporters: "I once again confirm that the deceased is Kim Jong-nam. This confirmation is based on samples taken from his son."

To date, North Korea has not claimed that the man who died at Kuala Lumpur airport was Kim Jong-nam. North Korea says the man's name was Kim Chol and he was carrying a diplomatic passport.

Malaysian police believe the man who died at Kuala Lumpur airport on February 13th died from VX nerve agent poisoning.
