ANOTHER MONGOLIAN BEAUTY DEAD IN M'SIA: 26-yr-old student found hanged in wet market

KUALA LUMPUR — Police have stumbled onto an alleged sex trafficking ring following investigations into the recent death of a Mongolian student.

Enkhtuya Bayar Magnai, 26, was found hanged near a wet market in Behrang, near here, on November 12 with fresh cut wounds on her hands and thighs. However, Tanjung Malim police chief Supt Othman Nayan said there was no foul play.

He said the element of human trafficking emerged after Mongolian police alerted Interpol to the possibility of Enkhtuya being held by a human trafficking gang.

In an email to Tanjung Malim police on December 30, Interpol referred distressing messages from Enkhtuya to her brother in Mongolia days before she was found dead.

The brother then sent the messages — in one of which Enkhtuya said she was “being sold” — to the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Ulan Bator.

“We discovered that she was working in a massage parlour in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, and never attended a single class at her college,” Othman said.

He said the matter was handed over to Bukit Aman following allegations of human trafficking.

I am dead

Did not identify culprits

Othman said the Mongolian police revealed Enkhtuya had first sent a Facebook message to her brother on November 5, claiming two other female Mongolian students had tricked her into believing they could obtain documents for her to stay in Malaysia.

She related she was then “sold” but did not identify to whom.

Two days before she died, she sent a text message to her brother that read: “I am dead ... I am at Sentral Pudu, someone trying to sell me.”

Othman said that according to the National Central Bureau, the family strongly believes Enkhtuya was a victim of human trafficking.

Police are tracing her phone records to ascertain who she had been in contact with during her stay here. - Malay Mail
