Family of KimJongNam murder suspect DoanThiHuong urge her not to lose hope
NAM DINH, Vietnam - The father of a Vietnamese woman accused of killing the half-brother of North Korea's leader had washed bed sheets in anticipation of her homecoming after her Indonesian co-accused was suddenly freed earlier this week.
Vietnam's government made an 11th-hour plea to Malaysian authorities this week to free Huong after fellow suspect Siti Aisyah was sent home following back-door lobbying from Jakarta. Huong's lawyer said he would try again to get the charges against her dropped after Thursday's ruling, which left Huong in tears in court.
But her life took a turn when she moved to Malaysia, where like so many migrant workers she sought a brighter future than the one on offer in her poor rice farming village. Malaysia's prime minister has said Ms Siti's release followed the"rule of law" and denied suspicions of meddling.
