SHAH ALAM, Malaysia (AP) An Indonesian woman held for two years on suspicion of killing North Korean leader Kim Jong Uns half brother was freed from custody Monday after Malaysian prosecutors unexpectedly dropped the murder charge against her.

Siti Aisyah cried and hugged her Vietnamese co-defendant, Doan Thi Huong, before leaving the courtroom and being ushered away in an embassy car. She told reporters that she had only learned Monday morning that she would be freed.

I feel very happy, she said later at a news conference at the Indonesian Embassy. I didnt expect that today will be my freedom day.
