Earlier, Huong’s lawyer asked the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General of Malaysia to release her after Indonesian suspect Siti Aisyah in the same case had been freed on March 11.
The trial has attracted significant media attention, with about 100 reporters covering it.
At a trial in August 2018, the high court declared they had collected sufficient evidence to indicate the two women and four DPRK suspects who fled the country had taken part in a scheme to murder Kim Chol.-VNA
