Malaysian Police have alleged that North Korean authorities are not cooperating in their investigation into the murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half-brother Kim Jong-nam.

CNN quoted Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar as saying that authorities are wanting to speak with a North Korean embassy worker and airline employee as part of their investigation.

Bakar in a news conference on Wednesday, said that security has been beefed up at the mortuary where Kim's body is kept after attempts of break-in

Jong-nam, who was assassinated at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on February 13, was the eldest son of Kim Jong-il, former leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
