North Korean officials are escorting the body of Kim Jong Nam back from Malaysia back to Pyongyang.
North Korean officials were seen gathering at Beijing airport after disembarking from a Malaysian Airlines flight on March 31.

Kim Jong Nam was the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Kim was assassinated at Kuala Lumpur Airport on Feb 13.
U.S. and South Korean intelligence sources said Pyongyang is behind the assassination.
