A Japanese newspaper is reporting that an official of the North Korean Embassy in Malaysia met with suspects in the assassination of Kim Jong-nam before the killing. 

The Asahi Shimbun, citing Malaysian media, said police believe Hyon Kwang-song, the second secretary of the North Korean Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, contacted the suspects multiple times about the plan to murder Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. 

In security camera footage released by Malaysian broadcaster TV3, the embassy secretary is seen visiting a mansion in a black car with a diplomat's license plate last November.

When the car stopped at a no-pass zone at the entrance, Hyon is seen getting out of a passenger seat and talking to two men.
