Jong Nam was reported to have died due to an apparent assassination while on the way to the hospital after complaining of not feeling well at klia2.
Malaysian police today said that four North Korean suspects in the murder of Kim Jong Un fled Malaysia on the day of the murder.
The four North Koreans flew out of Malaysia, but police would not reveal the flight's destination, just that they were coordinating with Interpol to track them down.
It was widely reported that Kim Jong Nam, the eldest son of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, had spoken out publicly against his family's dynastic control of isolated, nuclear-armed North Korea.
The young, unpredictable North Korean leader had issued a "standing order" for his elder half-brother's assassination, and that there had been a failed attempt in 2012.
