Motive to murder - seeking Confucius' help

In my post The motives of love, lust, lucre and loathing I quoted P.D. James, who had served for thirty years in various departments of the British Civil Service, including the Police and Criminal Law Department of Great Britain's Home Office, as well as being a magistrate that “All the motives for murder are covered by four Ls: Love, Lust, Lucre and Loathing.”

Everyone who has been following the Altantuyaa case including the most learned judge knows that Altantuyaa was blackmailing her ex lover Razak Baginda with such aggression that he became terrified enough to ask for special protection, so most would say there was initially love and lust in their relationship, and then when the passion and ardor turned cool and relationship soured, the blackmailing for money (lucre) kicked in, with the final outcome of loathing, probably of a mutual nature.

Thus, it was an astonishing pronouncement by his Lordship that notwithstanding Razak Baginda’s possessing all the likely motives (which of course don't necessarily translate into criminal action), those motives couldn’t be the basis to suspect him (Razak Baginda).

It’s hardly surprising that most Malaysians would cast their eyes on siapa godfather nya? Of course his close friendship with Najib plus alleged corrupt armed purchases have deepened the suspicions that there had been kow-tim-ness. These suspicions are all natural, logical and thus unavoidable, and coupled with the (lack of) reputation of our kow-tim-able judiciary, has led to accusations that our Malaysian Don Corleone had intervened. I'd go along with such suspicions.

Be that as it may, while it’s one thing to suspect Najib helping his buddy, it’s quite another to accuse Najib of being the killer or the man who gave the order to pull the trigger.

But that is the sentiment currently prevailing among PKR people who wants Najib implicated, not just as an accessory to the crime but as the prime suspect, the man who ordered the murder of Shaariibuu Altantuyaa.

In my readings of the various available articles and news reports, I could not find a single shred of evidence of Altantuyaa harassing Najib, or waiting outside his (DPM) house to pounce on him. All I gleaned from those was Altantuyaa going after Razak Baginda, her former lover.

Of course there was that mysterious photograph as well as Balasubramaniam’s double SD’s. I’ll touch on them in my next post.

Quite frankly, after reading the comments in Malaysiakini on the judge’s dismissal of charges against Razak Baginda, such as “The 2 policemen had no motive to murder Altantuyaa” or ...

... as someone commented in my last post in Exploiting the murder of Altantuyaa Shariibuu that “The UTK goons who were convicted were just the idiots who shouted 'Aye Aye Sir' and carried out the orders. Who gave the order to drop the bomb?”, I came to the conclusion that even if the judge had called Razak Baginda to give his defence and he was subsequently found guilty, those baying out for blood would still not be satisfied.

No siree, not with Razak Baginda or even those already ‘found guilty’, namely Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar.

Just a reminder, the two policemen were the ones who were the last people with a still-alive Altantuyaa when they whisked her off from Razak Baginda’s house to her sad fate.

Those MKINI readers want Najib’s head. They want him not just as an accessory to the murder (in helping Razak Baginda) but as the murderer.

Why?

Wakakaka, let’s talk about that in a future post. But to end this post, I am seeking the help of an ancient Chinese to help me conclude my piece about possible motives. Kǒng Zǐ or Confucius said that “A picture is worth a thousand words”, so please have a look at the following pictures (or photographs).









Altantuyaa Shariibuu was undoubtedly a very beautiful woman.

Subsequent Note: When I posted the above photos I made the same mistake as many others in believing they were of Shaariibuu Altantuyaa when they were not, but of a Korean model who committed suicide in Paris.

Nonetheless I've left the above photos in this post as I believe they serve a purpose, to illustrate a likely motive in the 2 policemen murdering Altantuyaa.

It is a line of thought which has struck me as quite plausible, but I admit it won't satisfy some people's politically driven belief that Najib has been the culprit or murderer. That has been why many argued that those policemen must have acted on orders a la idiots who shouted 'Aye Aye Sir' and automatically carried out the orders.

As I mentioned above, that even if the judge had called Razak Baginda to give his defence and he was subsequently found guilty, those baying out for blood would still not be satisfied until Najib was found guilty and hung whilst his chief political foe become the DPM to AAB.

Okay a quick revision, P.D. James said “All the motives for murder are covered by four Ls: Love, Lust, Lucre and Loathing.”

But I don’t suppose any of above can answer the comment in MKINI, namely, “The 2 policemen had no motive to murder Altantuyaa”.

Really? Or has that been toxic opportunistic politics talking?

Incidentally, I might recall for readers the sad murder of another beautiful woman, namely The Canny Ong Murder which you can read here and here.

Now, please tell me who gave Ahmad Najib Aris the instructions to rape and murder Canny Ong on the night of 14 June 2003?

After all, wouldn't you PKR people agree that “The 2 policemen Ahmad Najib Aris had no motive to murder Altantuyaa Canny Ong.”
