An image of a woman wearing a white t-shirt with ‘LOL’ written on it has been seen around the globe this week, after Malaysian authorities named the woman as a suspect in the killing of Kim Jong-Nam, half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
Opportunistic retailers have been hoping to profit from the picture, the South China Morning Post reports, by producing their own version of the t-shirt to sell online.
According to the SCMP, the clothing item appeared for sale on Taobao, China’s largest online shopping platform run by Alibaba Group.
It was priced at 6,324 yuan – approximately £740 – and was listed with the description “same Tee worn by North Korean female spy.”

The item is no longer listed for sale on the site, having apparently been removed from sale after going viral.
The woman in the t-shirt is reportedly in her 20s, and had Vietnamese travel documents when she was arrested.
Kim Jong-Nam, 45, died on Monday after collapsing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport while waiting to board a flight back to Macau, where he was living in exile.
There are two female suspects and four male, police sources told the Telegraph. “One of the girls was told to hold a handkerchief on the face of the victim after he’d been sprayed by the other girl,” an unnamed senior police officer said. “She held it there for 10 seconds. She said she thought spraying him had been a ‘prank’.”
