Malaysia's investigation into the murder of the North Korean leader's half-brother shows that the Pyongyang government was behind the assassination, South Korea said on Sunday.
Malaysian police have arrested one North Korean suspectand are seeking four more North Koreans who left the country, the day Kim Jong-Nam was poisoned at KualaLumpur's main airport.
"Based on various factors, our government is certain that the dead man is Kim Jong-Nam, and considering that the five suspects are North Korean nationals, we view that the NorthKorean government is behind the incident," said Seoul's unification ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-Hee.
