North Korea's ambassador has demanded that Malaysian police return the body of the man believed to be Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half-brother of Kim Jong Un who died on Monday morning, and accused the government of "defamation" in a statement read outside the DPRK Embassy in Malaysia.
Ambassador Kang Chol told assembled press mid-afternoon that there was "no clear evidence on the cause of death" and that his government "cannot trust" the results of the investigation, blaming "hostile forces against the DPRK".
