SHAH ALAM, Jan 30 (NNN- AGENCIES) – The eldest son of Altantuya Shaariibuu changed his name to Bayarkhuu Bayarjargal due to the negative publicity surrounding his mother’s death, he said during a civil lawsuit hearing in a Malaysian court on Wednesday (Jan 30).
The 21-year-old, formerly known as Mungunshagai Bayarjargal, was also picked on in school, he added.
He was only 9 years old when his mother was shot dead in 2006 by two elite Malaysian policemen, who then had her body blown up in a forest in Shah Alam using military grade explosives.
Bayarkhuu told the court that he felt shocked and very sad upon learning about her death.
“I was asking myself why was I so unlucky to lose my mother,” he said, when asked by Sangeet Kaur Deo, the counsel representing his family.
“I got even angrier and hurt when I knew that she was murdered in Malaysia and despised the people who were responsible for her death.”
