Four men, known only as Mr. Chang, Mr. Y., James and Hanamori (sometimes also called \u201cUncle\u201d or \u201cGrandpa\u201d) were involved in the murder, according to an investigating police officer, Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz.<\/p>\n
The officer identified Mr. Y as a man seen in a video recording played in court. The man, wearing a black cap and carrying a black backpack, was seen in the video walking into the airport with a woman who resembled the accused, Huong.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cBased on my investigation, Mr. Y was the person who applied a liquid on the second accused,\u201d Wan Azirul said, referring to Huong.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mr. Chang was seen meeting with Siti Aisyah at a restaurant at the airport\u2019s third-level departure hall in a separate video screened in court, Wan Azirul said.<\/p>\n
Hanamori had given instructions to Mr. Y, while James had \u201crecruited\u201d Siti Aisyah, Wan Azirul said, without elaborating.<\/p>\n
The lawyer for Sisi Aisyah, Gooi Song Seng, has said that his client didn\u2019t know she had poison on her hands. She was recruited by a North Korean man \u2013 known to her as \u201cJames\u201d \u2013 to star in what he said were video prank shows, said the lawyer.<\/p>\n
Over the course of several days, James had Aisyah practice rubbing oil or pepper sauce on people at shopping malls, hotels and airports, supposedly to be included in a Chinese reality TV show, said Gooi. Chang told her he was the show\u2019s producer and pointed to Kim as the next \u201cvictim.\u201d<\/p>\n
VX questions<\/h3>\n
Hisyam Teh, Huong\u2019s lawyer, argued during cross-examination that Huong could not have known that she was handling VX.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo sane person, having been made aware that a liquid was VX, basically the deadliest of all nerve agents, would put out his hand for VX to get administered,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

If someone washed their hands in time, they might not be poisoned, he said. \u201cIf you decontaminate within 15 minutes, most likely no effect or delayed effect (from VX).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKim Chol\u201d<\/h3>\n
Kim Jong Nam was apparently holding $100,000 in cash in his backpack at the time of his death, a police officer investigating the case told the court.<\/p>\n
And, he was travelling on a South Korean passport under the name \u201cKim Chol.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kim Jong Nam had lived for years outside of North Korea, after falling out of favour with his ruling relatives. He was the eldest son of the Kim family and was known to occasionally criticize the regime.<\/p>\n
