Two women will be charged with the murder of Kim Jong-Nam, who was assassinated with a lethal nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur's main airport, Malaysia's attorney general said Tuesday. 

"They will be charged in court under Section 302 (murder) of the penal code," said Mohamed Apandi Ali, two weeks after the half-brother of North Korea's leader was killed. 

If the suspects -- an Indonesian and a Vietnamese -- are found guilty they will face death by hanging.
