The two women on trial for murdering the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un were escorted by 200 armed policemen to the Malaysian airport where they allegedly poisoned him with a chemical, the United Nations classified as a weapon of mass destruction.

Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 28, a Vietnamese, are being charged with the killing of Kim Jong-nam smeared his face with VX, a chemical poison at the Kuala Lumpur’s international airport on 13 February.

As part of the trial, Aisyah, 25 and Huong, 29, were dressed in bulletproof vests as they were brought in to Kuala Lumpur International Airport along with court officials.

According to Daily Mail, about 200 police officers, many armed with rifles and wearing masks, fanned out as the entourage arrived at the terminal, where large numbers of journalists were waiting. The group was first taken to the check-in area where they allegedly smeared the nerve agent in Kim's face who died within 20 minutes of the deadly chemical attack.

The suspects were then taken to a cafe called Bibik Heritage, where Aisyah met a man identified in court as 'Mr . hang' who allegedly wiped a liquid on her hands before she carried out the attack. They later headed to the clinic where Kim was taken after the attack and then to a taxi stand, where the women went after the alleged murder. 

The authorities also led them to a toilet where one of the women had headed after the attack, and walked through a shopping area.

During the visit, one of the women Huong appeared unwell while Siti Aisyah broke down in tears. The women were then provided wheelchairs with prosecutors saying it was due to the weight of their protective clothing.

However, the visit was aimed at giving the judge and others involved in the high profile case a better understanding of how events unfolded on the day of the murder.
