Indonesia’s
vice president said Friday the woman held in Malaysia for suspected involvement
in the murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s half brother thought she was
taking part in a TV prank, reports said.
“She was
deceived into doing what was thought to be a media prank, a reality show,”
Jusuf Kalla was quoted as saying by Detik.com news website.
“That’s what
they told us,” he said.
Three
people, including Indonesian national Siti Aisyah, have been arrested in
Malaysia in connection with the murder of Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur
International Airport.
Aisyah’s
mother, Benah, told Detik that the family found out about her arrest from
television news.
“We were
shocked.
“We didn’t
know anything,” she said
Benah said
Aisyah worked in Batam, an Indonesian island near Singapore, selling clothing
and usually sent her 500,000 rupiah (37 dollars) every month.
