The IGP confirmed the duo are the North Korean Embassy's 2nd secretary and an Air Koryo staff member.

Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar also explained the police are not raiding the embassy for the 2 suspects, due to diplomatic immunity.

There has also been no word on the 4 suspects who have left the country, whom M'sia are tracking down with the help of Interpol.

Meanwhile, the DPM says a decision will be announced soon on whether North Koreans with expired work permits will be repatriated or prohibited from leaving the country.
