Two female suspects accused of murdering a man from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) at a Kuala Lumpur airport in February 2017 were called to enter their defense by a Malaysian judge on Thursday.
In the nearly five hours of court proceedings, Shah Alam High Court judge Azmi Ariffin said he believed that Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 26, and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, 29, were the perpetrators leading to the death of the DPRK man.
The suspects, who were accused of smearing VX nerve agent on the DPRK man on Feb. 13, 2017 at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, previously claimed they were duped into shooting a reality TV show. But the judge rejected their claim.
After undertaking a maximum evaluation of the evidence adduce, Azmi found that the evidence presented by the prosecution at this stage was credible for the court to accept and act upon it.
The judge said, he must accordingly find that the prosecution had made out a prima facie case against the accused persons and he must therefore call upon them to enter their defense on their respective charges.
The two suspects pleaded not guilty to the murder charges, but if convicted, they may face the death penalty in Malaysia.
According to the women defense teams, the trial will continue in early November and last until the end of February next year.
