KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Vietnamese woman accused of killing the half-brother of North Korea's leader was captured on camera making an "aggressive" attack on him, two days after a similar act on another person, a police investigator told a Malaysian court on Tuesday.

Doan Thi Huong, 28, is charged along with Siti Aisyah, an Indonesian woman, with killing Kim Jong Nam by smearing his face with VX, a chemical poison banned by the United Nations, at Kuala Lumpur airport on Feb. 13.
