Malaysian authorities investigating the murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s half-brother, Kim Jong-nam, have begun chemical analysis on the autopsy results.
 
According to local media, the Malaysian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation’s chemical department obtained samples from the police acquired from Kim’s autopsy to identify the cause of death.
 
Malaysian authorities carried out an autopsy on Kim’s body earlier on Wednesday. Final results are due to be released this weekend.
 
The half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un died on his way to hospital, complaining of nausea and headache, after coming in contact with two women at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Monday.
