PETALING JAYA: The Shah Alam High Court ordered the government and three others to pay RM5 million to the family of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu who was murdered in 2006, Malaysiakini reports.
Civil court judge Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera made the ruling during an online proceeding this morning.
The three plaintiffs - Shariibuu Setev and Altantseseg Sanjaa who are the deceased’s father and mother as well as her (Altantuya’s) brother Mungunshagai Bayarjargal - are suing for RM100 million.
The suit targeted two former members of the Special Actions Unit (UTK) - Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar - as well as political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda and the Malaysian government.
