Polisi nchini Malaysia wamesema kuwa wamefichua kemikali iliyotumika kumuuwa nduguye wa kambo, kiongozi wa Korea Kaskazini, na kuitaja kuwa VX dawa ya neva. Sumu kali mno inayotumika katika vita vya kemikali. Kim Jong-nam, aliuwawa katika shambulio hilo la sumu, kwenye uwanja wa ndege wa Kuala Lumpur, mapema juma lililopita.
Kamera za CCTV zinaonyesha wanawake wawili waliobeba vitu wakati Kim Jong nam alipokuwa akijiandaa kuingia ndani ya ndege.
Korea kaskazini wiki iliyopita ilisema kuwa haitambui matokeo yeyote yatakayotokana na uchunguzi wao na kutaka warejeshewe mwili.

Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea's leader, was killed by a highly toxic nerve agent, says Malaysia.
Mr Kim died last week after two women accosted him briefly in a check-in hall at a Kuala Lumpur airport.
Malaysian toxicology reports indicate he was attacked using VX nerve agent, which is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations.
There is widespread suspicion that North Korea was responsible for the attack, which it fiercely denies.
It responded furiously to Malaysia's insistence on conducting a post-mortem examination and has accused Malaysia of having "sinister" purposes.
What does the toxicology report say?
Malaysia's police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said on Friday that the presence of the nerve agent had been detected in swabs taken from Mr Kim's eyes and face.
One of the women Mr Kim interacted with at the airport on 13 February had also fallen ill with vomiting afterwards, he added.
Mr Khalid said other exhibits were still under analysis and that police were investigating how the banned substance might have entered Malaysia.
"If the amount of the chemical brought in was small, it would be difficult for us to detect," he said.

What is the deadly VX nerve agent?
- The most potent of the known chemical warfare agents, it is a clear, amber-coloured, oily liquid which is tasteless and odourless.
- Works by penetrating the skin and disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses - a drop on the skin can kill in minutes. Lower doses can cause eye pain, blurred vision, drowsiness and vomiting
- It can be disseminated in a spray or vapour when used as a chemical weapon, or used to contaminate water, food, and agricultural products
- VX can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, or eye contact
- Clothing can carry VX for about 30 minutes after contact with the vapour, which can expose other people
- Banned by the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention
