KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A woman accused of poisoning the North Korean leader's half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, at a Malaysian airport had been paid to fly to Macau, Kim's home at the time, just days before the killing took place, her lawyer told a court on Thursday.

Kim Jong Nam, half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and a critic of his family's dynastic rule, according to some South Korean lawmakers, had been living in exile in Macau, a special administrative region of China bordering Hong Kong.
