Malaysia frees Indonesian woman accused of Kim Jong Nam's poisoning

As the court announced its decision, Siti Aisyah, 26, turned to her Vietnamese co-defendant, Doan Thi Huong, 30, in the dock and the two women, who had been facing the death penalty together, embraced in tears.

Defense lawyers have maintained that the women were pawns in an assassination orchestrated by North Korean agents.
