The half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-nam, has been killed with poison in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, reports say.
Malaysian police said a North Korean man waiting at the airport for a flight to Macau on Monday had fallen ill and died on his way to hospital.
However, they named him as "Kim Chol", not Kim Jong-nam.
The late Kim Jong-il's eldest son is thought to have fled North Korea after being passed over for the leadership.
