An Indonesian woman held for two years on suspicion of killing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half brother was freed from custody Monday after Malaysian prosecutors unexpectedly dropped the murder charge against her.
Siti Aisyah smiles with her lawyer Gooi Soon Seng after a news conference at the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on March 11.
The trial is to resume Thursday, when prosecutors are expected to reply to a request by Huong's lawyers for the government to also withdraw the charges against her. They have said they thought they were taking part in a prank for a TV show. They had been the only suspects in custody after four North Korean suspects fled the country the morning Kim was killed.

The Latest: Indonesia: Lobbying led to Siti Aisyah's releaseSHAH ALAM, Malaysia (AP) — The Latest on the dropping of murder charge against the Indonesian suspect in the killing of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half brother (all times local): 12:45 p.m. Indonesia's government says its continual high-level lobbying resulted in the release of the Indonesian woman who was charged with the murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half brother in Malaysia. The foreign ministry said in a statement Monday that Siti Aisyah was 'deceived and did not realize at all that she was being manipulated by North Korean intelligence.' It said Aisyah, a migrant worker, believed that she was part of a reality TV show and never had any intention of killing Kim Jong Nam. The ministry said Malaysia's attorney general used his authority under Malaysia's criminal procedure code to not continue the prosecution. It said Aisyah's plight was raised in 'every bilateral Indonesia-Malaysia meeting, both at the President's level, the Vice-President and regular meetings of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and other Ministers with their Malaysian partners.'
