Kim Jong-Nam, the half-brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, was killed on February 13.
A few days later, the first North Korean to be arrested in connection with the case was a man carrying Malaysian documentation issued to foreign workers, which identified him as 46-year-old North Korean citizen Ri Jong Chol.
Malaysian detectives have also detained a 25-year-old Indonesian woman named Siti Aishah, her Malaysian boyfriend, and a woman carrying a Vietnamese passport identifying her as Doan Thi Huong, 28.
Kim Jong-Nam, the eldest son of Kim Jong Il, was once the favourite to assume the leadership of the hermit-state North Korea.
These are the key events in his life that led to his exile from North Korea and his death:
The first suspect, a 28-year-old woman detained Wednesday at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, where the attack occurred, was carrying a Vietnamese passport with the name Doan Thi Huong, police said. Vietnam has not confirmed if she is a citizen.
Kim Jong Nam, 46, was the eldest son of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, the father of current leader Kim Jong Un, 33.
Bernama, a Malaysian news site, reported that the body will be released to family or the North Korean embassy after police and medical procedures are completed. Lee Byung Ho, director of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, said Kim was killed with a poison in Monday's attack.
Kim Jong Nam was arrested at Tokyo’s Narita Airport in 2001 after trying to enter Japan on a forged passport from the Dominican Republic. He told police he wanted to visit Tokyo Disneyland.
After falling out of favor with his father, Kim Jong Nam lived in exile in Macau, a Chinese island known as a gambling mecca. In emails to the Japanese newspaper Tokyo Shimbun, he said the rift with his family had grown because he insisted on reforms.
"After I went back to North Korea following my education in Switzerland, I grew further apart from my father because I insisted on reform and market-opening and was eventually viewed with suspicion,” he wrote.
