South Korea is reportedly using giant loudspeakers to blast news of the murder of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, to its northern neighbour.

South Korea this week employed its banks of high-decibel loudspeakers to ensure details of the death of Jong-nam were heard loud and clear at the border area between the two countries, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported, quoting Seoul’s MBC TV station.

“Kim Jong-nam... died after being attacked by two unidentified women at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia,” blared the message from the speakers and replayed by the TV station.

“Malaysian authorities said four suspects are North Korean nationals including one who has been arrested,” it said.
