Don't Postpone My Daughter's Murder Trial Again - Shaariibuu


SHAH ALAM, June 14 (Bernama) -- "Enough is enough! Please don't postpone my daughter's murder trial again. I have been traumatised enough."
This was the heart-rending appeal of Dr Shaariibuu Setev, the distraught father of the Mongolian model whose murder trial was postponed when it came up for hearing on June 4.
The murder trial of Altantuya Shaariibuu has been fixed for Monday at the Shah Alam High Court.
Shaariibuu, Director of the Centre of Information and Education at the National University of Mongolia, said: "Everyone in Mongolia, including the prime minister, is eagerly waiting for the trial to start.
"I want the relevant authorities to give me a guarantee that there will be no more postponements, even if triggered by the trivial excuse.
"The explanation given by the Attorney-General (for postponement of the trial) did not satisfy me, in the least. I am quite anxious what might transpire on Monday," he said, adding that his two nieces and a friend of Altantuya, who are witnesses in the high-profile trial, might return to Mongolia in the event of a second postponement.
Shaariibuu, 57, was speaking in a packed press conference at a five-star hotel here today. He was assisted by a Mongolian translator, Bayar Puverdorj.

tunku : i too hope that this case won't be postponed anymore as it will give bad impression to the judiciary.
