Top Malaysian Political Figure Held in Gruesome Slaying of "Stunning" Mongolian Model

One of Malaysia's most prominent political analysts has been remanded to custody by police in connection with the gruesome slaying of a Mongolian fashion model who claimed that he was her husband and the father of her 16-month old child.

The saga began when Altantuya "Anna" Shaaribuu, a woman described as "stunning" in press reports, arrived in Kuala Lumpur from Mongolia on Oct. 6 intent on seeing Abdullah Razak Baginda, a well known political figure with close ties to the ruling party. The woman reportedly wanted him to acknowledge his role as the baby's father. The woman's body was later found after being shot twice and blown to bits, either with hand grenades or C4 explosives.
