New York Times: Women Accused of Killing North Korean Leader’s Brother Plead Not Guilty

HONG KONG — Two women accused of killing the half brother of North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, by smearing a nerve agent on his face pleaded not guilty to murder in a trial that began Monday in Malaysia.

The trial in the killing of the estranged older sibling, Kim Jong-nam, is being closely watched for clues about the workings of the isolated authoritarian state at a time when it is facing off with the United States and its allies by testing ballistic missiles and a nuclear device.
