Quote:Malaysia says it has expelled the North Korean ambassador over the death of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of the North Korea's leader.

Kang Chol must leave Malaysia within 48 hours, the foreign ministry says.

The move comes after the envoy said his country "could not trust" Malaysia's handling of the investigation.

Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of Kim Jong-un, died three weeks ago after two women smeared a deadly chemical over his face at a Kuala Lumpur airport.

Malaysia has not directly blamed North Korea for the attack with the nerve agent VX, but there is widespread suspicion Pyongyang was responsible.
