North Korean 'masterminds' evade Kim Jong Nam murder trial

At a trial that could send two Southeast Asian women to the gallows, Malaysian prosecutors are shining a light on several men at large they say masterminded and played crucial roles in carrying out the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong's Un's estranged half brother.
The lone defendants at the Shah Alam High Court—Siti Aisyah, 25, of Indonesia and Doan Thi Huong, 29, of Vietnam—say they are innocent, duped by the men into participating in February's attack at Kuala Lumpur's international airport, which they say they thought was a harmless prank for a TV show.
If found guilty, they face a mandatory death sentence. In Malaysia, that means they would be hanged.
