BALTIMORE, MD (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Security operatives have arrested two more suspects in connection with the death of the North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un’s half-brother Kim Jong-nam in Malaysia.

A female Indonesian suspect and a Malaysian man perceived to be her boyfriend were both arrested and detained Thursday.
