Our top story this evening...
A North Korean man has been arrested in Malaysia in connection with the killing of Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un.
He is the fourth suspect detained.
Kim Jong-nam is thought to have been poisoned at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Monday.
With the latest developments,... here's Connie Kim.
It's a development that could finally help investigators get to the bottom of who was behind the murder of Kim Jong-nam.
Malaysian police say they have arrested a fourth suspect: a North Korean identified as Ri Jong-chol.
A statement by the Royal Malaysia Police said it arrested the 46 year old on Friday night in Selangor near the capital Kuala Lumpur.
It added that he was carrying a Malaysian document called i-Kad that is normally issued to foreign workers.
Ri is presumed to be one of the four male suspects police are tracking down.
The others are two men in their fifties and one man in his thirties.
The latest development follows the arrest of three other suspects: a woman holding a Vietnamese passport identified as Doan Thi Huong, an Indonesian woman Siti Aisyah, and her Malaysian boyfriend Muhammad Farid Jalaluddin.
Since Kim Jong-nam's death on February 15th, no exact reason for his death has been announced.
What has been revealed, however, is the shocking final image of Kim... slumped and unconscious in an airport chair.
While Malaysia's announcement is pending,... North Korea has said it will categorically reject the autopsy report and demand that Kim Jong-nam's body be sent to Pyongyang.
"I went to the headquarters of the police and I asked them, and I strongly demand to release the body to our side without any further delay. But they reject it, raising the issue which is nothing to do with the clarification of the cause of death."
Malaysia continues to insist that its rules must be followed.
While there are conflicting reports regarding an additional autopsy, the Selangor state police chief told Reuters that the procedure was not complete... and dismissed media reports that a second autopsy would have to be done.
Malaysia is one of the few countries that has maintained friendly ties with North Korea,… but watchers say this incident could damage those relations if Malaysia decides to announce the reasons for Kim Jong-nam's death.
