“In many ways this is the perfect crime”

A captivating true crime tale from documentarian Ryan White (The Case Against 8), Assassins reveals the gob-smacking circumstances behind the 2017 assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. An Indonesian woman, Siti Aisyah, and a Vietnamese woman, Doan Thi Huong, were charged with the crime, which took place in broad daylight (and in full view of CCTV cameras) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Were they really cold-blooded killers, or just pawns in a larger political plot?
