The DAP veteran also questioned whether or not former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, whom Azilah alleged in his SD to have ordered him to kill the Mongolian, would truly support re-opening investigations on the 13-year-old murder case as claimed. “In all my statements about the murder of Altantuya in the past 13 years, I have never accused Najib of the murder of Altantuya,” Lim said in a statement today.
Lim pointed out that under Najib’s rule, the authorities had failed to reopen the investigation in order to establish its motive.
