Vietnamese woman in N. Korea murder case seeks freedom.
A Vietnamese woman accused of assassinating the North Korean leader's half-brother is expected to learn Thursday whether she will be freed, days after the shock release of her Indonesian co-accused.
Lawyers for Huong -- who could face death by hanging if convicted -- then asked the Malaysian government to withdraw the murder charge against her, and prosecutors are expected to announce whether her bid for freedom has been successful. The trial began in October 2017 but there had been no hearings since August last year when the prosecution finished presenting its case.
