Siti Aisyah, the Indonesian woman accused of killing the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was freed after Malaysian prosecutors dropped the murder charge against her, the Jakarta Post reported Sunday night.
Details: The 26-year-old was accused of smearing VX nerve agent on Kim Jong-nam's face in Kuala Lumpur airport in 2017. She and her co-accused Doan Thi Huong, from Vietnam, deny they murdered him and say they believed they were part of a television prank. The judge's freeing of Aisyah does not amount to an acquittal, Channel News Asia reports, but she is now free to leave Malaysia.
"I feel very happy," Siti Aisyah said @kbrikualalumpur
