Analyst gave model diamonds, says consul

KUALA LUMPUR: Murdered Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu's relationship with a prominent political analyst here was not a secret as she had visited Malaysia several times since March 2004, Mongolian honorary consul Datuk Syed Abdul Rahman Alhabshi said.

“Each time they met, the analyst would give her gifts such as jewellery, including diamonds. He had also deposited US$30,000 (RM111,000) into her account,” said Syed Abdul Rahman, who is based here.

He said Altantuya's family had kept all the jewellery receipts as well as photographs of the couple when they first met.

Syed Abdul Rahman said usually when Altantuya wanted to visit Malaysia, she and the analyst would meet beforehand in Shanghai before arriving here.

“They would stay in a well-known hotel here each time Altantuya came,” he added.

He said the couple had travelled to South Africa and Europe together on holiday. – Bernama
