interviewed on Feb. 24 to get their take on the recent rape of Korean tourists by a Taiwanese taxi driver and the mysterious death of Kim Jong-nam.
A suspect named Chan reportedly admitted he injected powerful tranquilizers into strawberry drinks and then administered them to three South Korean women traveling in his taxi on January 12. He let the third one out, but took the two unconscious women in his cab to an isolated alley where he raped one of them, according to the Shilin District Prosecutors Office.
Kim Jong Nam, the outcast half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was apparently assassinated by two women, possibly using a VX nerve agent, while at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The motive behind the killing is still uncertain, though there has been speculation his younger half brother, Kim Jong Un, may have ordered the hit. [FULL STORY]
