Seoul, Feb 14 (IBNS): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother was killed in Malaysia, south Korean media reports said.

Kim Jong-nam was assassinated on Monday in Malaysia, a source told South Korea's Yonhap news agency without revealing details.

North Korea's late former leader Kim Jong-il is the father of Kim Jong-nam.

A source close to the Malaysian PM's office told the BBC that Kim was killed in the city, saying his body was now undergoing an autopsy.
