PETALING JAYA: It has been a month since the murder of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, gripped the world, and there is no sign that the story, with its continuing saga of bizarre claims, diplomatic rift and an unclaimed body, will die down soon.

On Feb 13, Jong-nam, 45, was fatally poisoned by two women in broad daylight in KLIA2 as he was getting ready to fly home to Macau where he lived in exile with his family. The act was caught on CCTV and Jong-nam died within 20 minutes after the brazen attack.
