N. Korea must abide by our law, says IGP


KUALA LUMPUR: North Korea must respect and abide by Malay­sia’s law in regard to the post-mortem of that country’s leader Kim Jong-un’s half-brother Jong-nam, said Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

Dismissing an allegation that Malaysia was purposely delaying the process to release Jong-nam’s remains, the Inspector-General of Police said as long as DNA from his family had not been obtained, the investigation on the case could not be completed.
