The murder of the half-brother of Kim Jong-un was - as all the contributors to this documentary said - exactly like something from a spy thriller. Plus: we enter Osloīs medical underworld in ValkryienCCTV footage doesnīt get much more extraordinary than what was captured in the check-in area of Kuala Lumpur International airport on 13 February this year. A shortish, roundish man walks towards one of those self-check-in kiosks to get his boarding pass. This is where it happens, some kind of incident. Itīs a way off, and not very clear, but when the footage is zoomed in, we can see more. Two women approach the man, one puts something that looks like a cloth over his mouth. Then they walk calmly off, itīs all over in a few seconds. Nobody around them appears to have noticed that anything at all has happened.Then, in footage from another camera, we see the man, looking animated, reporting the incident - his own assassination, as it happens - to the police; then security staff are leading him to the airport clinic. By which time the man is beginning to drag his feet. And sweating, we learn. Soon his coordination will be all over the place, he will have a seizure, defecate and die. Because he has been poisoned with VX, the most deadly nerve agent known, 10 times more powerful than sarin.
