Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak tonight announced that the nine Malaysian diplomats and their families barred from leaving North Korea have finally been allowed home.

"Alhamdulillah, they took off from Pyongyang today at 7.45pm Malaysian time, and will land in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow around 5am," he said in a statement tonight.

Najib said that Malaysia will now allow all North Korean citizens to leave the country.

"In addition, following the completion of the autopsy on the deceased and receipt of a letter from his family requesting the remains be returned to North Korea, the coroner has approved the release of the body," he said.
