Mongolian working team to retrace Altantuya's murder


The Mongolian government will send a team of investigators to Malaysia in August to re-look into the high-profile murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu.

Officers from the country's Justice and Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs and Trade ministries will be making the trip to look into detail controversies surrounding the case, Kelana Jaya PKR parliamentarian Loh Gwo-Burne told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.

Citing a Mongolian news report quoting its Foreign Affairs and Trade Ministry's consular director G Gankhuyag, Loh said the team also intended to "sign an agreement" to ensure cooperation between the enforcement units of both nations.

"The consular directorate of the Foreign Affairs and Trade as well as the Justice and Home Affairs ministries, NGOs and the family members of the deceased have attended the trials," said Loh, reading out from a translated copy of the news report.

"The government of Mongolia allocated the necessary funds. Also, the consular officer in Thailand has made working trips to Malaysia on this matter.

"Unfortunately, we see sluggishness from the Malaysian side. They don't inform what is going on in the courtroom."

'Give them full cooperation'

Loh urged the Malaysian government to give full cooperation to the Mongolian government officers as it involved the country's image and bilateral relationship.

On Oct 31, 2008, Shah Alam High Court judge Mohd Zaki Md Yasin acquitted political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, who had been accused of abetment in the murder of Altantuya, without calling for his defence.

The judge ruled that the prosecution had not proven a prima facie case, as the sworn affidavit filed by Abdul Razak, a close ally of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, had not been rebutted.

However, two Special Action Force members - Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar - were later found guilty of the murder and sentenced to death.

 The two, former bodyguards of Najib, have filed separate appeals against conviction, which are due to be heard in August.

Azilah and Sirul Azhar were found guilty of murdering Altantuya, who was then 28, at Lot 12843 and Lot 16735 Mukim Bukit Raja in Shah Alam, Selangor, between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20, 2006.

    That's more better and fair for Mongolian government to send their own people to investigate the case of their own rakyats.

      When it was realized she was missing on 19 October 2006, her cousin lodged a police report and sought help from the Mongolian embassy in Bangkok.

      The Malaysian police found fragments of bone, later verified as hers, in forested land near the Subang Dam in Puncak Alam, Shah Alam. Police investigation of her remains revealed that she was shot twice before C-4 explosives were used on her remains, although there has been later suggestion that the C-4 explosives may have killed her. When her remains were found their identity could only be confirmed with DNA testing. The provenance of the C-4 remains unclear

    Altantuya Shaariibuu a Mongolian national, was a murder victim who was either murdered by C-4 explosives or was somehow killed first and her remains destroyed with C-4 on October 18, 2006 in a deserted area in Shah Alam, Malaysia near Kuala Lumpur. The Shah Alam High Court meted out the death sentence to two of the accused on 9 April 2009, wrapping up the 159 day trial.
