The case of two women accused of killing Kim Jong Un's estranged brother Kim Jong Nam in Malaysia is moved to a higher court, with the two suspects facing life behind bars if they're convicted.
The case of two women charged with the murder of Kim Kong Un's estranged half brother was transferred to a higher court at a hearing in Malaysia on Tuesday.
Indonesian Siti Aishah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 28, from Vietnam were escorted from a Kuala Lumpur court in bullet-proof vests.
They're accused of smearing Kim Jong Nam's face with VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur airport in February.
If found guilty, the two face life behind bars, but they insist they're just pawns in an assassination masterminded by the North Korean leader.
As well as denying responsibility for the murder, North Korea refuses to admit that the dead man is even Kim Jong Un's half-brother, and that he must have died of a heart attack.
