Woman charged with Kim Jong Nam's killing freed

Siti Aisyah left court Monday morning and is expected to depart for her home country later in the day, her lawyer Gooi Soon Seng said.
Gooi said it was unclear why prosecutors said they wanted to withdraw the charge, as they did not give a reason in court.
Aisyah and Vietnamese national Doan Thi Huong were both charged with murdering Kim Jong Nam in February 2017. Authorities say the two women exposed Kim to the deadly nerve agent VX as he entered an airport in Kuala Lumpur, killing him in minutes.
Lawyers for the two women have claimed the pair were duped by a team of North Korean agents, who tricked them into thinking they were taking part in a reality TV show. Each pleaded not guilty.
Indonesia's ambassador to Malaysia, who was in court with Aisyah, thanked the judge and the Malaysian government, but declined to answer questions about what is next for her.
Huong is scheduled to testify later Monday.
