Kim Jong Nam, the eldest son of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, had spoken out publicly against his family`s dynastic control of isolated, nuclear-armed North Korea.
South Korean and U.S. officials have said he was assassinated by North Korean agents using what was thought to be a fast acting poison.
Kim Jong Nam died on Monday after being assaulted at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, where he was catching a flight to Macau.
The Malaysian police said they were trying to contact the next-of-kin of Kim Jong Nam.
The young, unpredictable North Korean leader had issued a "standing order" for his elder half-brother`s assassination, and that there had been a failed attempt in 2012.
