KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 — Police are looking for a woman who was seen behaving suspiciously at Kuala Lumpur Hospital last night.
The woman was seen loitering in the compound of the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and HKL security personnel reported the matter to the police at 9.56pm.
Dang Wangi Police chief ACP Mohd Sukri Kaman said today the report on the woman was lodged along with a report against a South Korean man.
“Police detained and recorded a statement from the man, a Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) journalist who holds a valid media pass,” he said.
The man was released but the police are still looking for the woman, he said in a statement.
The KBS cameraman was detained by Dang Wangi CID chief DSP M. Gunalan after a Special Task Force on Organised Crime (STAFOC) team arrived in four police four-wheel drive vehicles at the venue at 1.40am.
Mohd Sukri said that following the incident, security at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine was tightened with the deployment of STAFOC personnel.
Dozens of local and foreign journalists have gathered there since last week following the murder of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Jong-nam was reported to be at KL International Airport 2 (klia2) on February 13 waiting for a flight to Macau when he was attacked by two women with a poisonous liquid. He died on the way to hospital. — Bernama
