SITI Aisyah used baby oil in her pranks at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) several days before Kim Chol or Kim Jong-nam died after his face was smeared with VX poison.

The Indonesia is accused of murdering Jong-nam, the estranged older brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Siti Aisyah’s pranks were committed on February 3, 7, and 11, 2017 before the “attack” on Jong-nam at klia2 on February 13, 2017. Siti Aisyah was paid US$550 (RM2,156) by a man known as Chang.

Chang or Hong Song-sac is one of four suspects who is still at large.

He was introduced to Siti Aisyah on Januart 21, 2017 at the Phnom Penh Airport by a man named James or Ri Ji-u.

Counsel Gooi Soon Seng who is representing Siti Aisyah, 26, made these suggestions during cross-examination of investigation officer ASP Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz, 40, on the 30th day of the murder trial at Kuala Lumpur High Court, and the ninth witness agreed with him.

Siti Aisyah and a Vietnamese woman Doan Thi Huong, 29, were charged with murdering Jong-nam – with four others still at large.

On February 7, 2017, the same day she committed a prank at KLIA, Siti Aisyah uploaded a posting on her Facebook account which read “last day shooting, hopefully given the trust, contract extended, even though tired but energised”.

Gooi presented the posting to the witness who replied “I agree”.

Besides the prank in which she used baby oil, Siti Aisyah said in a statement James asked her to smear lotion on the victim’s face from behind and immediately leave the location (klia2).

Earlier, Wan Azirul Nizam disagreed with Gooi’s suggestion Chang had asked Siti Aisyah to go to Macau on February 8, 2017 to perform the prank, and had given her RM4,000 to buy the flight ticket.

However, the witness answered “not sure” to the counsel’s suggestion her trip to Macau was cancelled.

On the connection between Siti Aisyah and Doan, the witness agreed with his suggestion both women did not know with each other and there were no closed circuit television recordings showing they spoke to each other at any point on the day of the “attack”.

Replying to Gooi’s question on whether Siti Aisyah’s DNA profile was found on Jong-nam’s body or clothes, the witness answered “none”.

The trial in the presence of Judge Azmi Ariffin continues on February 27. – Bernama, February 22, 2018.
