I refer to the Malaysiakini report French daily reveals grisly details of Altantuya's death .

Many entities create and/or keep records for various administrative and financial purposes or for planning future capacity etc, and they may make photos for security or advertising use.

Among such entities are governments and private companies. Some examples are airlines, immigration departments, customs departments, hotels, limousine services, restaurants etc.

Let me raise some questions that I think should be asked and the answers (records) sought. When Najib Abdul Razak, Abdul Razak Baginda and Altantuya Shariibuu went to and were in Paris:

1. Which airline(s) did they use?

2. Did they have adjacent seats on a plane?

3. Did they go together through the airline(s) check-in?

4. Did they go together through French/Malaysian immigration/customs?

5. Do phone company records show their phone numbers in close calling proximity?

6. Which phone numbers did they call? Each other’s? The French defence ministry’s?

7. Which hotel(s) and room(s) did they stay in?

8. If Najib/Razak Baginda/Altantuya ordered food sent to their rooms, how many person's meals were sent at one go? One, two or three?

9. Did they share transport between a hotel and other points such as the airport, the French defence ministry, the French naval base, etc,?

10. Security cameras are sometimes at building entrances and in lobbies, hallways, lifts. There may be such cameras also at the French defence ministry or the French naval base.

11. Were Najib/Razak Baginda/Altantuya photographed together by security cameras? Do the photos still exist?

12. Often, some form of identification needs to be shown to a guard before one can enter a sensitive facility such as a naval base.

The security guard ordinarily records the particulars of the visitor, such as name, nationality, passport number, date and time of the visit and often both time entered and time left.

Do such records exist in the French defence ministry or the French naval base regarding Najib/Razak Baginda/Altantuya? Do records exist showing the three of them entering or leaving at the same date and time?

I believe answers to the above could prove interesting, especially in light of Najib's repeated denials that he never met Altantuya.
