THE estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been killed in Malaysia, a South Korean government source said.

Kim Jong-nam, the older sibling of the North Korean leader, was known to be based mostly outside of his home country.

Police in Malaysia told Reuters on Tuesday an unidentified North Korean man had died en route to hospital from Kuala Lumpur airport on Monday.

I'm not sure yet if there are some liberties being taken in this story, but it's sounding legit so far. I'm always skeptical of "unnamed sources" and there are a couple in here

It's real. (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-38971655) Does Kim III have any sons he hasn't killed off?
