Gripping news: The front page of ‘The Star’ on Feb 15, 2017, on the daring assassination of Jong-nam at KLIA2 (left) and news reports on the trial on March 2, 2017, showing Doan being surrounded by officers from the Special Task Force on Organised Crime.

IT was a murder that stunned the world. And it happened at Malaysia’s doorstep.

Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was poisoned right in the middle of the ever-busy KLIA2 on Feb 13, 2017. His face was smeared with a banned nerve agent.
