Kim Jong Nam is the exiled half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Here he is pictured at Beijing airport in China in 2007.

He said: "After I went back to North Korea following my education in Switzerland  I grew further apart from  my father  because I insisted on reform and market-opening and was eventually viewed with suspicion."
In 2012   Kim Jong Nam  heavily criticised  his  family's North Korean leadership.  He  said: "The Kim Jong-un regime will not last long. Without reforms  North Korea will collapse  and when such changes take place  the regime will collapse " according to excerpts from Japanese journalist Yoji Gomi in Tokyo Shimbun newspaper.
