马来西亚将驱逐因金正男机场遇害事件被拘的朝鲜人

Malaysian authorities are preparing to deport a North Korean man who has been held as a suspect in connection with last month's death of Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Forty-five year-old Ri Jon Chol has been in custody for nearly two weeks following the February 13 attack on Kim at an airport in Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysian Attorney General Mohamed Apandi Ali said Thursday that the period under which Kim can be held without charges is set to run out, and that there is not enough evidence to file any charges against him, so he will be deported on Friday.

The two main female suspects in the case, a 25-year-old Indonesian and a 28-year-old Vietnamese, were charged with murder on Wednesday.

The women were not asked to enter pleas in the case, but have said they are innocent, and believed they were taking part in a prank for a television show. They each face the death penalty if convicted.

马来西亚当局准备驱逐一名朝鲜籍男子，这名男子涉嫌与朝鲜领导人金正恩同父异母兄弟金正男上个月被谋杀事件有关。金正男2月13日在吉隆坡机场遇袭身亡后，45岁的李正哲（Ri Jon Chol）已被拘留了将近两个星期。

马来西亚司法部长阿潘迪·阿里周四表示，对李正哲不提出指控而收押的期限将至，目前没有足够的证据对他提出任何指控，所以他将在周五被驱逐出境。

此案两名主要嫌疑人，25岁的印度尼西亚女子和28岁的越南女子星期三受到谋杀指控。

两名被告没有被要求做出是否认罪的表态，但她们称自己是无辜的，自称以为是在参加电视节目的恶作剧。如果罪名成立，两人都将面临死刑。
