2 women charged with Kim murder

A tightly-guarded Malaysian court yesterday charged two women with murdering the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader, who was killed with a powerful nerve agent, and warned them they face the death penalty if convicted. Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 28, from Vietnam, were held just days after the killing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13, which Malaysia said was carried out with a nerve agent so deadly that the UN terms it a weapon of mass destruction.
