?North Korea is likely behind the death of Kim," said Jung, citing the fact that some of the suspects are North Korean nationals.
North Korea?s envoy to Malaysia demanded to take part in the country?s murder probe into the death of leader Kim Jong Un?s half-brother last week, which he said was tainted by ?collusion? with its arch-rival, South Korea.
The Feb.
13 murder of Kim Jong Nam -- the oldest son of the late leader, Kim Jong Il -- has raised questions about the stability of Kim?s regime as he accelerates plans to build nuclear weapons that threaten the U.
S.
, South Korea and Japan.
Neither North Korea nor the Malaysian police have confirmed the victim?s identity as Kim Jong Un?s brother, since he was carrying a diplomatic passport that identified him as Kim Chol.
South Korean government officials have speculated that Kim was behind the killing of his half-brother, a critic of his leadership who had lived outside the country for years.
