LEAKED CCTV footage allegedly shows the North Korean leader's half-brother being killed by female assassins in a busy airport.

The extraordinary video appears to show a woman spray a poisonous liquid in Kim Jong-nam's face - before he desperately seeks help in the dying seconds of his life.

 Jong-nam, said to be the portly man in the light grey jacket, was found dead at Kuala Lumpur airport on February 13

The footage begins with Jong-nam, half-brother of North Korea's tyrant Kim Jong-un, standing in a busy concourse at Kuala Lumpur airport in Malaysia,

The footage then becomes blurry as apparent female assassins circle the man believed to be the dissident North Korean - who was notorious for speaking out against his crackpot half-brother's brutal regime.

A woman in a white sleeved top appears to reach both of her arm's around Jong-nam's face before spraying him with a liquid.

She calmly walks away through an oblivious crowd of people.

After the death of Jong-nam on Monday, February 13, images emerged of one of his suspected killers wearing a white top with "LOL" written on it.

Disturbing and upsetting footage has since claimed to show Jong-nam, who was once tipped to become the Supreme Leader of North Korea, walking through the airport seeking help in the final seconds of his life.

His body language suggests he is telling armed police that he has been sprayed in the face with something.

The footage has emerged after Indonesian female masseuse Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese entertainment worker Doan Thi Huong were arrested over the death of Kim Jong-nam.

The two women have been arrested along with Muhammad Farid Bin Jalaluddin, who is Malaysian, and the only North Korean to be detained Ri Jong Chol.

Malaysian cops have also released grainy images of four suspected North Korean operatives being sought over the apparent murder.

Kim Jong-nam was the son of North Korea's notorious late dictator Kim Jong-il - but he has a different mother to his tyrannical sibling Kim Jong-un.

Jong-nam had been tipped to inherit the top job from his father, but his failed attempt to enter Tokyo Disneyland in May 2001 is said to have soured his relationship with the diminutive despot.

He was exiled from North Korea in 2003 and became an occasional critic of his family's regime.

Jong-nam has also been described as a "playboy" who loved gambling and visiting casinos where he lived in China. 

In a 2012 book he said he believed his tubby brother Kim Jong-un lacked leadership qualities - before adding he had no desire to lead the country himself.

Malaysian cops are awaiting the result of an autopsy that was conducted on Wednesday to determine Jong-nam's exact cause of death.

South Korea has said it believes North Korea is behind his killing.

It has been claimed that Jong-nam mouthed the words "very painful, very painful, I was sprayed with liquid" before his dramatic death on Monday, February 13.
