NAM DINH, Vietnam (AFP): The stepmother of a Vietnamese woman accused of killing the half brother of North Korea’s leader said Monday she was delighted her stepdaughter escaped the death sentence, urging her to “hang on” until her expected release in May.

Doan Thi Huong dodged the death penalty on Monday (April 1) after a Malaysian judge reduced her murder charge to causing injury by dangerous means over the killing of Kim Jong-nam with a nerve agent in 2017.
