Vietnamese defendant Doan Thi Huong (C) is escorted by police personnel towards the low-cost carrier Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) in Sepang during a visit to the scene of the murder as part of the Shah Alam High Court trial process on October 24, 2017, for her alleged role in the assassination of Kim Jong-Nam

Two women accused of killing of North Korean leader King Jong Un's half brother have been brought back to where the attack took place.
Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 29, returned to Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur International Airport, where they allegedly threw VX nerve gas into the face of Kim Jong Nam.
An entourage included the prosecutors, defence lawyers and the judge hearing the murder trial.
Visits to crime scenes are common in Malaysian trials and are meant to give participants a better perspective of events as they unfolded.
The two suspects, who are Indonesian and Vietnamese respectively, face the death penalty if it is found they intended to kill the North Korean.
Crowds arrived at the airport for the arrival of the women

It is an accusation they deny. The women say they were tricked into believing they were taking part in a reality prank show that involved wiping lotion on the faces of unsuspecting people.
Security camera footage from the airport showed a woman smearing a substance on a man's face and Kim Jong Nam gesturing for help and being led to a medical centre.
He later died on his way to hospital.

Kim Jong Nam had been the heir apparent to the North Korean dynasty in the 1990s, but was exiled after being caught trying to enter Disneyland in Japan.Malaysian officials have not formally accused Pyongyang of involvement, and the incident strained relations between the countries after several North Koreans left Malaysia after the attack.
Although it is clear the women did not act alone and were acting on the guidance of others, they are they only individuals present to stand trial for the crime.

PARENTS OCCUPY CATALAN SCHOOLS AHEAD OF POLL

The Latest on Catalonia's plans to hold a referendum Sunday on breaking away from Spain (all times local) 8 p.m. Ruben Satinya wasn't sure he would vote in favor of independence for Catalonia in Sunday's disputed referendum, but the Spanish government's effort to prevent the poll from taking place has convinced him to vote in favor of a break with Spain.

Satinya doesn't expect police to forcibly take them out of the school if the crowd is large enough to make removals difficult. He says "I am Catalan, but my fight is for social and civil rights, and that is what this about." He adds "I believe in the basic right of self-determination." ——— 6:00 p.m. A grassroots group tha...
