Bukit Aman Tipped Off By Mongolia On Death Of Student
PETALING JAYA: BUKIT Aman Interpol confirmed yesterday they had received information from the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Ulan Bator on the death of a Mongolian woman here last year.
Enkhtuya Bayar Magnai, 26, was found hanged near a wet market in Behrang on November 12.
An Interpol source, who confirmed The Malay Mail’s front page exclusive report on Tuesday, said the bureau requested Bukit Aman to investigate if Enkhtuya was a victim of a sex trafficking ring.
“We can confirm we received the information and it was passed to the department concerned to investigate the human trafficking element,” he said.
Mongolian police had earlier revealed that Enkhtuya, who enrolled for a short English language course at President College in Kuala Lumpur, sent her brother a Facebook message on Nov 5 claiming two other female Mongolian students had tricked her into believing they could obtain documents for her to stay in Malaysia.
Days before she died, she sent her brother a text message that read: “I am dead ... I am at Sentral Pudu, someone (is) trying to sell me.”
According to the National Central Bureau, the family believes Enkhtuya was a victim of human trafficking.
The autopsy report said Enkhtuya died as a result of compression of the neck due to being hanged. It also said there were several injuries on her body, believed to have been self-inflicted.
Police were unsure when she had entered the country.
A college spokesman said Enkhtuya had enrolled for the August intake but did not turn up for classes.
Tanjung Malim police chief Supt Othman Nayan denied police imposed restrictions on Enkhtuya’s family from taking her remains back to Mongolia for cremation.
He said it took more than a month for the authorities to contact the family as her passport was “still missing”.
The family arrived in Malaysia on December 18 and the funeral was carried out in Seremban on December 21.
