DPRK officials said the death of Kim Jong Nam at a Kuala Lumpur airport last week was part of an "anti-DPRK conspiratorial racket" by South Korea. 

A spokesman for the Korean Jurists Committee said it was "immoral, illegal and unnecessary" to conduct an autopsy because "heart-stroke" was the confirmed cause of death. He also criticized the Malaysian side for conducting an autopsy without permission from the DPRK and without a DPRK official present.
