Kim Jong-nam murder: Expelled North Korean ambassador says Malaysian probe biased

Kuala Lumpur: North Korea's ambassador fired a final salvo at Kuala Lumpur on Monday shortly before a deadline for his expulsion expired, saying a Malaysian probe into the assassination of the half brother of Pyongyang's leader was biased.

Speaking at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Ambassador Kang Chol said the probe was a "pre-targeted investigation by the Malaysian police".

He added: "They have conducted the autopsy without the consent and attendance of the DPRK (North Korea) embassy and later arrested a DPRK citizen without any clear evidence showing his involvement in the incident."
