Vietnamese female suspect in murder case was an aspiring singer
- 7 years ago
The Vietnamese woman suspected of helping to kill the North Korean president's half-brother was a keen singer whose Facebook pages featured pouting portraits and pictures of parties.
On a rice farm in northern Vietnam, the family whose daughter's details match those from Malaysian police, said they rarely knew where she was since she left home a decade ago, aged 18.
Among the links on another Facebook account, which the family also said featured pictures of her, was one to the page of the ‘Vietnam Idol’ talent show. This account was in yet another name. There were no posts after November.
A woman bearing a close resemblance to the suspect sang on the show as contestant number 67816 on June 3, 2016.
Facial recognition tools give a match to the pictures released by Malaysian police of the suspect in custody.
