The suspect is one of two women whom Malaysian authorities believe swiped the face of Kim Jong Nam with the VX nerve agent that led to his death while he was waiting to catch a flight February 13 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Indonesian authorities were able to meet with suspect Siti Aishah, an Indonesian citizen, for the first time Saturday.
Aishah thought the substance she rubbed on Kim's face was "a kind of oil, baby oil, something like that," said Andreano Erwin, Indonesia's deputy ambassador to Malaysia.
After the women wiped Kim's face with the liquid, he started feeling dizzy and died shortly afterward on his way to the hospital, Malaysian police said.
Erwin said Aishah told Indonesian authorities she was asked to do these "activities" by people who "looked like Japanese or Koreans." The deputy ambassador also said Aishah was given 400 Malaysian ringgits (about $90) for her role.
More suspects sought
Three other North Koreans are wanted for questioning by Malaysian police, including Hyon Kwang Song, second secretary at the North Korean Embassy in Malaysia, and Kim Uk Il, a staff member of North Korea's state-owned Air Koryo.
Both are believed to still be in Malaysia.
Police in Kuala Lumpur carried out a raid on a private apartment there Thursday, Selangor State police Chief Abdul Samah Mat said. The raid was related to the investigation into Kim's death. Police are analyzing samples they collected from the apartment, he said.
Aishah's boyfriend, Muhammad Farid Bin Jalaluddin, was taken in for questioning and released on bond.
