The eight North Korean suspects include four officials of the state security ministry and two officials of the foreign ministry, the lawmakers quoted the intelligence agency as saying, Reuters reported.

South Korean and US officials said Kim Jong Nam, the North Korean leader's estranged half-brother, was killed by North Korean agents in an airport in the Malaysian capital on Feb. 13. North Korea has not acknowledged his death.

Malaysia’s health minister said on Sunday the dose of nerve agent given to Kim Jong Nam was so high that it killed him within 20 minutes and caused very serious paralysis.
