An Indonesian woman held over the killing of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother thought she was taking part in a TV prank, police say. Kim Jong-nam is thought to have been poisoned as he waited to board a flight in Malaysia on Monday. Two women and a man were arrested over the death. Indonesia's national police chief said one of the women, named as Siti Aisyah, claimed to have been paid to perform what she thought was a prank. Police believe a poisonous substance was sprayed into Kim Jong-nam's face.
