KINI ROUNDUP Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.

Police seek information on four North Korean men believed involved in the murder of North Korean leader's half brother Kim Jong-nam.

Ri Ji Hyon, 33, Hong Song Hac, 34, O Jong Gil, 55 and Ri Jae Nam, 57, who all entered Malaysia on separate days between Jan 31 and Feb 7, are believed to have fled the country the same day of the murder last week.

Police are also looking for another three males to assist investigations, including one Ri Ji U, who also goes by the name James.

The other two are yet to be identified, but pictures from a CCTV footage have been circulated.

Johor MB living with 13 others in shoplot?
