Slain North Korean always had bodyguards in Malaysia, says friend


PETALING JAYA: The murdered Kim Jong-nam used to enjoy coming to Malaysia but always had bodyguards with him as he feared for his life, says a restaurant owner who knew him.

“I suspect he had a device to jam the CCTVs. Whenever I checked the cameras after he left, there would be nothing,” said Alex Hwang, a South Korean whose restaurant Jong-nam frequented.
