NEW YORK: Malaysia has warned that an investigation into the murder of the North Korean leader's half-brother "may take longer than what we hope," as Pyongyang ally China said on Wednesday that no international action should be considered until it is finished.  

Malaysia has said assassins used VX nerve agent, a chemical listed by the United Nations as a weapon of mass destruction, to kill Kim Jong-un's estranged half-brother, Kim Jong-nam, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) on Feb 13.
