In my post The motives of love, lust, lucre and loathing I quoted P.D. James, who had served for thirty years in various departments of the British Civil Service, including the Police and Criminal Law Department of Great Britain's Home Office, as well as being a magistrate that “All the motives for murder are covered by four Ls: Love, Lust, Lucre and Loathing.”Everyone who has been following the Altantuyaa case including the most learned judge knows that Altantuyaa was blackmailing her ex lover Razak Baginda with such aggression that he became terrified enough to ask for special protection, so most would say there was initially love and lust in their relationship, and then when the passion and ardor turned cool and relationship soured, the blackmailing for money (lucre) kicked in, with the final outcome of loathing, probably of a mutual nature.
Thus, it was an astonishing pronouncement by his Lordship that notwithstanding Razak Baginda’s possessing all the likely motives (which of course don't necessarily translate into criminal action), those motives couldn’t be the basis to suspect him (Razak Baginda).
It’s hardly surprising that most Malaysians would cast their eyes on siapa godfather nya? Of course his close friendship with Najib plus alleged corrupt armed purchases have deepened the suspicions that there had beenkow-tim-ness. These suspicions are all natural, logical and thus unavoidable, and coupled with the (lack of) reputation of our kow-tim-ablejudiciary, has led to accusations that our Malaysian Don Corleone had intervened. I'd go along with such suspicions.
Be that as it may, while it’s one thing to suspect Najib helping his buddy, it’s quite another to accuse Najib of being the killer or the man who gave the order to pull the trigger.
But that is the sentiment currently prevailing among PKR people who wants Najib implicated, not just as an accessory to the crime but as the prime suspect, the man who ordered the murder of Altantuyaa Shariibuu.
In my readings of the various available articles and news reports, I could not find a single shred of evidence of Altantuyaa harassing Najib, or waiting outside his (DPM) house to pounce on him. All I gleaned from those was Altantuyaa going after Razak Baginda, her former lover.
Of course there was that mysterious photograph and Balasubramnaiam’s double SD’s. I’ll touch on that in my next post.
Quite frankly, after reading the comments inMalaysiakini on the judge’s dismissal of charges against Razak Baginda, such as “The 2 policemen had no motive to murder Altantuyaa” or as someone commented in my last post in Exploiting the murder of Altantuyaa Shariibuu that “The UTK goons who were convicted were just the idiots who shouted 'Aye Aye Sir' and carried out the orders. Who gave the order to drop the bomb?”, I came to the hypothesis that even if the judge had called Razak Baginda to give his defence and he was subsequently found guilty, those baying out for blood would still not be satisfied.
No siree, not with Razak Baginda or even those already ‘found guilty’, namely Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar.
Just a reminder, the two policemen were the ones who were the last people with a still-alive Altantuyaa when they whisked her off from Razak Baginda’s house to her sad fate.
Those MKINI readers want Najib’s head. They want him not just as an accessory to the murder (in helping Razak Baginda) but as the murderer.
Why?
Let’s talk about that in a future post. But to end this post, I am seeking the help of an ancient Chinese to help me conclude my piece about possible motives. Kǒng Zǐ or Confucius said that “A picture is worth a thousand words”, so please have a look at the following pictures (or photographs).
Altantuyaa Shariibuu was undoubtedly a very beautiful woman.
Okay a quick revision, P.D. James said “All the motives for murder are covered by four Ls: Love, Lust, Lucre and Loathing.”
But I don’t suppose any of above can answer the comment in MKINI: “The 2 policemen had no motive to murder Altantuyaa”.
Incidentally, I might recall for readers the sad murder of another beautiful woman, namelyThe Canny Ong Murder which you can readhere and here.
