The half-brother of Kim Jong Un suffered organ failure after he was attacked with the deadly VX nerve agent at the Kuala Lumpur airport earlier this year.

Kim Jong Nam, the son of dead North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, died after VX was rubbed over his face, which then caused his brain and lungs to swell, a murder trial heard today. Mohamad Shah Mahmood, who carried out the post-mortem on Kim Jong Nam, made the assessment, MailOnline reported.
