Kim Jong-nam, the 45-year-old half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was believed to have been poisoned at KLIA2 on Monday 13 February, leading to his death.

A video apparently depicting Jong-Nam's last moments has emerged on YouTube, showing footage believed to have been taken by several CCTVs at KLIA2

The clip shows a man resembling Jong-Nam, clad in a light blue jacket and slacks with a backpack slung over one shoulder, walking into the airport and looking at flight schedules before approaching a nearby self check-in kiosk.

Then, two women came from different directions. The woman approaching Jong-nam from behind can be seen lunging from behind to reach over his head and cover his face with a cloth.

It took them only seconds to finish what the came to do, as both women quickly went back in the directions they came from.

The self check-in area seems to be fairly crowded, although no one seems to have noticed the attack.

After the attack, Jong-nam walked swiftly to an information counter to speak to a man and a woman. The woman then takes him to two policemen, where he is seen gesturing to his face and presumably telling them about the attack.

At this point, Jong-nam looks unharmed and is still walking normally without needing help. The policement then walk him the airport clinic, after which the video ends.
