Siti Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong, the women who have been prosecuted, both have said that they were not guilty in the killing of Kim Jong Nam, who died suddenly February 13 in the Kuala Lumpur international airport in Malaysia.

If either of these ideas are true, then that would be a good motive for their government to silence
