Kim body to be sent to N. Korea, Malaysians freed: Malaysia PM

Kuala Lumpur - The body of Kim Jong-Nam will be sent to North Korea and nine Malaysians in Pyongyang will be allowed to leave, Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak said Thursday.

North Korean citizens in Malaysia will also be allowed to return home, the statement said.

Kim, 45, the half-brother of North Korea's leader, was poisoned at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13 in a brazen Cold War-style assassination using a lethal nerve agent banned by the UN as a weapon of mass destruction.
