It is the first official comment from North Korea since the killing of Kim Jong-Nam at Kuala Lumpur international airport on Monday.

First-born Kim Jong-Nam (L) was once thought to be the natural successor to his father, but on Kim Jong-Il's death in 2011 the succession went to Jong-Un (R), who was born to the former leader's third wife

"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," Kang Chol told reporters gathered outside the morgue where the body is being held.
