The Dhaka Times Desk The mystery surrounding the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, is gathering pace. Kim Jong-nam's body found the existence of chemicals!
Chemical agents were used to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother Kim Jong-nam, according to media reports. The Malaysian police gave this information in a statement on Friday morning.
A chemical called VX nerve agent was found in Nam's eyes and face, the statement said. The country's chemical department tested Nam's body and discovered the presence of the substance.
The VX nerve agent is one of the chemicals listed by the United Nations as a mass destruction agent. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, VX nerve agent is the most powerful nerve agent. After contact with skin, it can be fatal if not washed off quickly. It is used only in chemical warfare. The agency also said that people may lose consciousness, become paralyzed, or suffer from heart attacks in large doses of VX.
Two women chemically attacked Kim Jong Nam's face at Kuala Lumpur airport. The two women fled after the incident and Nam complained to airport staff that she was experiencing pain in her face. He died shortly after.
Notably, Kim Jong-Nam was assassinated in Kuala Lumpur on February 13. He was killed by poisoning his mouth.
