[QUOTE]After coming to power, Kim Jong-un has executed or purged several high ranking officials and generals including his own uncle Jang Song Thaek.
Kim Jong-nam was "afraid" and "worried", according Anthony Sahakian, who said the 46-year-old had feared he would be seen as leadership threat following the death of their father, Kim Jong Il, in 2011.
Mr Sahakian, who attended a prestigious international school in the Swiss city of Geneva, said that his friend had feared that his brother would order his assassination, or someone would try to kill him in a bid to impress the North Korean leader.
Malaysian police have arrested a North Korean man, a Vietnamese woman and an Indonesian woman have been arrested already in connection with his death. Four North Korean suspects also fled the country, investigators said. [/QUOTE]
