    A North Korean man who was held in connection with the death of Kim Jong Nam will be released from police custody Friday, authorities said.       Ri Jong Chol, the North Korean man held in connection with the death of Kim Jong Nam, will be deported to North Korea after his release.

He’ll be escorted to Malaysia’s international airport, where he’ll be handed over to immigration officials, Malaysia’s National Police Deputy Inspector-General.
       Kim, the older half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was killed February 13 before he was supposed to board a flight to the Chinese-controlled territory of Macau.
Two women have been charged with the murder of Kim, who police said was killed by smearing VX, a deadly nerve agent, on his face at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Ri was the only North Korean to have been detained in the case, but investigators have named four North Korean suspects who are believed to be back in Pyongyang.

    Three other North Koreans are wanted for questioning, but police say the North Koreans would not make their citizens available, and were impeding the investigation. They are believed to be in Malaysia. South Korea has pinned the death on Pyongyang, accusing the country of recruiting the women.
    North Korea strongly denies responsibility, and its state media blamed Seoul and Washington for “resorting to political chicanery to bring down the social system in the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea).”
