Report: North Korea says it has been framed by South Korea as the culprit behind the death of Kim Jong-nam.
 
Ten days after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half brother was killed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, North Korea's lawyers committee issued the regime's first official response on Thursday.
 
Without specifying the name of the deceased, the committee described Kim's death as an “unfortunate accident.”
 
The apparatus under Pyongyang's Supreme People's Assembly claimed that Malaysia pushed ahead to conduct an autopsy only to join South Korea's move to frame North Korea.
 
It argued that the current situation will only help the South Korean president, ruling party and the National Intelligence Service ride out its own domestic political turmoil.
 
The North said that the Malaysian police's investigation and its autopsy cannot be trusted.
 
An official at Seoul's Unification Ministry dismissed North Korea's claim, saying it's not worth responding to. 
 
The South Korean government is planning to bring the issue of Kim Jong-nam's death to the United Nations Human Rights Council, which will convene in Geneva Monday next week.
