Twenty years ago, the brutal murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu by two Malaysian special forces policemen shocked the nation. Her body was obliterated using C4 military explosives. Despite the passage of time, the motive behind her killing remains undetermined, fueling suspicions of a political conspiracy aimed at silencing her. The investigative program 101 East has undertaken a journey across Mongolia, Malaysia, France, and Australia to examine allegations of interference in the criminal trial. The investigation also delves into Altantuya’s alleged connections to a controversial submarine deal and the claims made by the convicted policemen that they were acting under the orders of former Prime Minister Najib Razak, who has consistently denied any involvement in the murder.
