It has been confirmed that one of the two female suspects in the assassination of Kim Jong-nam visited South Korea three months ago.

An official at a South Korean intelligence authority said Wednesday that 28-year old Doan Thi Huong entered into South Korea on a Vietnamese passport in November. 

The suspect was arrested by the Malaysian police after she was seen attacking the late half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Monday last week with an accomplice.

An intelligence official said it appears that the South Korean man had no direct involvement in the killing of Kim Jong-nam.
