Siti Aisyah a 'victim', says Indonesian vice president


PETALING JAYA: Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla says Siti Aisyah (pic), the second woman detained in connection with the murder of Kim Jong-nam, was merely a victim of manipulation or fraud.

Indonesian portal Detik.com reported that Jusuf, speaking to journalists at his office on Friday, said he was confident that Siti Aisyah was not a Korean agent as she was arrested in Malaysia, adding that if she was truly guilty, she would have gone off the radar completely.
