The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will "categorically reject" the post mortem conducted by Malaysia on its national who died in Kuala Lumpur on Monday and demands the immediate transfer of the body, said the DPRK embassy in Malaysia on late Friday.

"The Malaysian side forced the post mortem without our permission and witnessing, we will categorically reject the result of the post mortem conducted unilaterally excluding our attendance," DPRK's ambassador Kang Chol said in a statement delivered to the media outside the forensic department of Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

The victim, whom the Malaysian authorities claimed as Kim Jong Nam, the half brother of the DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un, was murdered in Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
