They said the suspect was carrying a Vietnamese travel document and was alone at the time of arrest.
South Korea's spy agency suspects two female North Korean agents assassinated the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Malaysia, politicians in Seoul said overnight, as Malaysian medical authorities sought a cause of death.
US government sources also told Reuters they believed that Kim Jong Nam, who according to Malaysian police died on Monday on his way to hospital from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, had been murdered by North Korean assassins.
South Korean intelligence believed Kim Jong Nam was poisoned, politicians said after being briefed by the country's spy agency.
They said the spy agency told them that the young, unpredictable North Korean leader had issued a "standing order" for his half-brother's assassination, and that there had been a failed attempt in 2012.
According to the spy agency, Kim Jong Nam had been living with his second wife in the Chinese territory of Macau, under Beijing's protection, the politicians said.
One of them said Kim Jong Nam also had a wife and son in Beijing.
