马来西亚警方周四表示，他们逮捕了另一名女子，涉嫌暗杀朝鲜领导人金正恩同父异母的兄长。

有关当局认定，这名女子为25岁的西蒂·艾沙 (Siti Aishah)，持有印度尼西亚护照，已根据机场安全摄像机的录像得到“确认”。

西蒂·艾沙被捕一天前，警方在马来西亚首都吉隆坡国际机场拘留了另一名女子。警方的一份声明说，她名叫端诗香（译音，Doan Thi Huong），有越南旅行证件，并称此人也已根据安全摄像机的录像得到了确认。

韩国周三证实，受害者是朝鲜领导人同父异母的兄长金正男，他一度有望成为朝鲜领导人，但他2001年试图用假护照入境日本到东京迪斯尼乐园去，随后失宠。

韩国统一部发言人郑俊熙说：“似乎可以确定，被害人就是金正男。”

Police in Malaysia said Thursday they have arrested a second woman in connection with the apparent assassination of a half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Authorities identified the woman as 25-year-old Siti Aishah, saying she held an Indonesian passport and was "positively identified" from airport security camera footage.

The arrest came a day after police detained another woman at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in the Malaysian capital. A police statement identified her as Doan Thi Huong, with Vietnamese travel documents, and said she was also positively identified from security cameras.

South Korea on Wednesday confirmed the victim was the North Korean leader's older half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, who was once in line to become head of state, but fell out of favor with their father, Kim Jong Il, after he tried to enter Japan on a forged passport to visit Tokyo Disneyland in 2001.

“It seems assured that the person who was killed was Kim Jong Nam,” said Jeong Joon-hee, the South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman.
