The police do not need to wait for a new police report to reopen investigations into the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu, said a DAP MP.
“There is no need for a new police report to be lodged, as it is very likely that the person who ordered the murder of Altantuya is already known to the police from the earlier investigations into the said murder, as this is too crucial an aspect to have been missed out in the said investigations.
“It defies logic for investigators to have only asked who killed her, without asking why in their said investigations,” said Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh in a statement.
He was responding to inspector-general of police (IGP) Mohamad Fuzi Harun, who was reported by The Star as saying the police see no grounds to reopen the case on the murder and to date, no new police reports had been lodged.
Ramkarpal said a police report would be a mere “formality”.
“The police themselves can do so to reopen investigations if Fuzi feels this is necessary,” he said,
Ramkarpal added Altantuya's father Setev Shaariibuu, in a letter to him, had asked for justice against the people who had ordered his daughter's murder.
Furthermore, he said, Mongolian president Battulga Khaltmaa on May 18 also requested Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to reopen investigations.
“In the circumstances, I strongly urge Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Fuzi to reopen investigations into the Altantuya murder urgently, or that a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) be convened to determine the motive,” he said. -Mkini
