Altantuya's baby 'not related to analyst'

KUALA LUMPUR: The political analyst is not the father of Altantuya Shaariibuu’s 16-month-old baby boy.

Honorary consul of Mongolia in Malaysia Datuk Syed Abdul Rahman Alhabshi said this in response to reports in several newspapers yesterday.

"Altantuya has a son. But the child is not related to the analyst," Syed said at his office in Sunway Damansara yesterday.

He also refuted reports that Altantuya’s family would be sending documents to show that the deceased had married the analyst.

"I asked the family to send me proof of her relationship with the analyst," he said.

"They have faxed us details of her trip from Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai in March last year, which was paid for by the analyst at a travel agency here.

"They have also sent recent pictures of Altantuya but there is no marriage certificate coming."

He also denied telling the media that Altantuya’s parents would be coming here with her baby for DNA testing to ascertain whether the baby is the analyst’s son.

"They will be coming for DNA tests here to ascertain if the remains found in Puncak Alam are that of Altantuya."
