Vietnamese woman pleads guilty to lesser charge in killing of Kim Jong Un's estranged half brother.
n leader's half brother pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in a Malaysian court on Monday, with her lawyer saying she could be freed as early as next month.
"I am happy," Huong, 30, told reporters as she left the courtroom, adding she thought it was a fair outcome. Prosecutor Iskandar Ahmad told the court that the attorney-general offered the reduced charge to Huong following pleas from the Vietnamese government and her lawyers. Huong's lawyer told the court Monday that her guilty plea to the lesser charge showed she "has taken responsibility" for her actions. In asking for a lenient sentence, he also told the court that her move saved judicial time.
Before the sentencing, Vietnamese Ambassador Le Quy Quynh said he expected Huong to be freed immediately. After the sentencing he said: "I am highly appreciative that she will be released very soon but I want to emphasize that she is a victim like the Indonesian."
