KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The Latest on the apparent assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half brother, Kim Jong Nam, at a Malaysian airport (all times local):

Malaysia police chief Khalid Abu Bakar has told the national Bernama news agency that a second woman has been arrested in connection with the death of Kim Jong Un's half brother, Kim Jong Nam. He said police will issue a statement soon with details.

The slaying of Kim Jong Nam, appears to be making few ripples so far in Macau, where he lived for years.
The Chinese gambling hub is home to a small Korean community estimated at 240 people but staff at the city's handful of Korean restaurants and shops said Wednesday they had never seen him when shown his picture.
Several said Kim was unlikely to mix with Macau's Korean residents because most were from South Korea.
Kim lived in a newer high rise building in the city's Taipa neighborhood across from a public park, according to photos published by South Korea's Yonhap news agency. A Filipino woman who lives in the building and declined to give her name said she saw him in the elevator but they never spoke.
Kim's teenage daughter attends Macau Anglican College after having transferred from an international school nearby, according to students at both schools. But none said they knew her or had seen her the day after her father's death.
