Identifying the man who poured liquid on Doan Thi Huong's hand

The Malaysian High Court on October 12 recorded testimony that a man known as the uncle ordered the murder of North Korean citizen believed to be Kim Jong-nam.

Also in yesterday's court session, police investigator Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz spoke about the roles of four mysterious men involved in the murder of "Kim Jong Nam" and two female suspects at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia.

Two female suspects and a man named 'James'.

Police officer Wan Azirul used aliases to identify the four men who remain at large. Wan Azirul, the ninth witness, described the roles of the four men based on the statements of Doan Thi Huong and Siti Aisyah.

Prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin also played security footage in court, which recorded two moments when the two female suspects came into contact with two of the four men.

Identifying the mastermind of the assassination of "Kim Jong-nam"

According to the Malaysian Post, the four people were identified as:

Mr. Y, wearing a black hat and carrying a crossbody bag, accompanied Doan Thi Huong into the low-cost carrier terminal at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA2). He was found pouring liquid into Doan Thi Huong's hand.

Mr Chang - who appeared with Siti Aisyah at the Bibik Heritage restaurant, wearing a black hat and glasses. He also poured liquid on Siti Aisyah's hand.

Hanamori, also known as Mr./Uncle, is suspected of giving instructions to Mr. Y.

James - suspect in recruiting Siti Aisyah.

On the first day of the trial, the court rejected the defense's request to force the prosecution to reveal the names of the four men.

The man in the red shirt was identified as James.

Defense attorney points out illegal points

During yesterday's court hearing, when asked about the whereabouts of Kim Chol's passport (the murdered North Korean citizen was holding a passport in this name), police investigator Wan Azirul Nizam replied that the original passport had been returned to the North Korean embassy after the police took a copy of it.

Gooi Soon-seong, Siti Aisyah's defense lawyer, objected to the use of a copy of the passport. Gooi said it was against the Evidence Act, which requires a copy of a document to be authenticated before it can be accepted as secondary evidence in court.

Lawyer Salim Bashir, representing Doan Thi Huong, also voiced his objection, saying that prosecutors can only present secondary evidence if the original documents are destroyed or lost.

Prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin said: “In this case, the passport was not lost but was returned to the North Korean Embassy after the investigating officer took a copy of it.” Lawyer Salim countered: “But there is no evidence that the passport was given to the North Korean Embassy.”

Judge Azmi said he would decide whether to accept the passport copy in the next few days.

On October 12, DNA analyst Nor Aidora Saedon of the Ministry of Chemistry appeared in court as the 10th witness. Ms. Fairuz listed the samples she analyzed after receiving them from the police.

The court also noted that there were a total of 134 photos of Kim Jong Nam's body taken by police photographer Mohd Nordin Mohd Zain, 50.

The trial is scheduled to continue at KLIA2 on October 24.
