AKIPRESS.COM - Malaysian police are searching for a diplomat and an airline employee, taking to eight the number of North Koreans suspected in the involvement in the brazen, public assassination of the half brother of the reclusive nation’s leader, Washington Postreported.

In the latest twist in a plot straight out of a movie, an attempted break-in was reported at the hospital morgue where Kim Jong Nam’s body is being held — against North Korea’s wishes. Photos from the scene showed heavy security around the hospital, with armed men in SWAT-like gear.

Speculation over the killing of Kim Jong Nam had centered on his estranged half brother’s regime in Pyongyang, and evidence is mounting that North Korea may have been behind the attack at Kuala Lumpur airport Feb. 13.

Malaysian police said Wednesday that they wanted to speak to Hyon Kwang Song, the second secretary at the North Korean embassy in Malaysia, and Kim Uk Il, who works for Air Koryo. The state airline used to fly between Pyongyang and Kuala Lumpur, but the route was suspended in 2014.
