Altantuya: DNA experts seek identity of child’s father, but why?
“Altantuya Shariibuu in happier times” - Picture courtesy of Mr. Stev, Shariibuu, Altantuya’s father.
Soon the world will know who killed Altantuya, and why she was killed. As it stands now, it could be one or a variety of reasons: a love or business deal gone sour? Being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or, caught in a dangerous power play, when she was the mere spectator, or victim? Whatever it is, her family and the civil society in Mongolia seeking her justice were relieved that the court case has now been fast-forwarded to June this year, instead of March 2008.
However, the family is still concerned about the use of C4 explosives to terminate her. They had sent several queries to the government- both Malaysian and Mongolian, but have not received any response so far, said Mr. Shariibuu, through an NGO representative in Ulanbataar. [Mr. Shariibuu speaks mainly Mongolian].
Now that the case will be convening soon, it is hoped that the ‘mystery’ surrounding the procurement of the explosives will come to light.
While matters seem to be heading in the right direction as far as the trial is concerned, the opposite can be said of her young son’s health. He is in need of dire treatment, for a disease I am yet to ascertain. However, I have learnt that the young boy is weak and his physical movements are limited.
According to Mr Shariibuu, he had sent a request to the Malaysian government seeking compensation for Altantuya’s son’s failing health. But had not received any response to this matter as well. For since, two government officials were implicated in this case, the government should at least be held responsible? But Malaysia had neither apologised nor show any remorse for the incident.
It is learnt that Mr. Karpal Singh, lawyer conducting the watching brief for Altantuya’s family, had received all the documentation regarding the young boy’s health from Altantuya’s family, and will be proceeding with a civil case to seek the necessary compensation.
Mr. Karpal is not waiting for the trial of the century to be over, but will proceed with the civil case soon.
Last Monday, Mongolian NGOs who worked on seeking justice for Altantuya, met to discuss the case further. They had earlier planned to take the case up to the Foreign Ministry and several other agencies. But now that the case has been brought forward, other initiatives are in the works.
In a recent development, Mr. Shariibuu had confirmed that a team of Malaysian forensic specialists will travel to Ulanbataar next week to conduct DNA tests on Altantuya’s youngest son, as they search for clues to her grisly murder.
However, the identities of the experts and their time of travel to Mongolia was supposed to be a secret, said Mr. Shariibuu.
But Mongolian consul in Malaysia Syed Abdul Rahman Al Habshi had told Bernama (Malaysian government news agency) that the team will be leaving tomorrow to conduct the necessary tests, to determine if it matches Abdul Razak Baginda, the political analyst linked to her murder. Why is the man in such a hurry to announce the event to the whole world?
Other questions arise: What is the necessity of proving that the child belongs to who? Is the child the motive for killing Altantuya? Or is there a more sinister reason? Unless the identification of the child’s father is to prove something else?
Isn’t it more necessary to track down the submarine deal or Baginda’s business deal in Hong Kong, where he first met Altantuya? What is Altantuya’s role in the deal or any of Baginda’s dealing?
Her father had said earlier that she had come to Malaysia to claim the payment owed to her. If this is indeed true, then can Baginda’s affidavit, admitting he wanted to ‘get rid’ of her due to her harassment, hold water?
With the case pending soon, speculations are rife. Questions are many. Let see who is right: the still-believer of Malaysia’s justice system, or the cynic among us. |
