The MV Dona Paz Disaster | Heinous History | 1987

In October 2006, a 28-year-old Mongolian woman vanished without a trace in Malaysia. It took weeks and persistent questioning before investigators would make a horrifying discovery in a secluded forest; fragments of her remains, scattered after her body had apparently been blown apart with explosives.

Her name was Altantuya Shaariibuu, and her murder would unravel a scandal that reached the highest levels of Malaysian politics.

As investigators dug deeper, two elite police commandos were implicated in her killing, while connections to powerful political figures raised troubling questions about who might have wanted her dead.

But nearly two decades later, despite convictions and years of courtroom battles, one question continues to haunt the case: Who really wanted Altantuya silenced, and why?

 

Part 1: We trace the shocking events as it happened, following Altantuya as she landed in Malaysia, and how she came to meet her tragic demise.

 

Part 2: We follow the fallout from the court hearings and the controversy that soon followed, detailing the lengthy court battle that still failed to answer the most important question: why?

The C4 Murder: Malaysia's Most  Explosive Scandal | 2006 | 2/2

The C4 Murder: Malaysia's Most  Explosive Scandal | 2006 | 1/2

It's a quiet morning in the Wisconsin woods in November 2004.  A group of hunters head out for what should have been an ordinary day during deer season. But before noon, a confrontation over a hunting stand would leave six people dead and two others critically wounded.

 

At the centre of it all was Chai Soua Vang, an Hmong immigrant and experienced hunter who claimed that what happened in those woods was a matter of survival. And yet, those who did survive told a very different story.

 

What began as an argument between strangers soon became one of Wisconsin’s most notorious hunting tragedies, and a case that raised difficult questions about race, fear, prejudice, and what really happened in the moments before the first shot was fired.

 

 

 

Part 1: We follow the events on that fateful day, uncovering the tragedy that took place, and the controversy it would soon bring forth upon the Hmong community.

 

 

 

Part 2: We follow the fallout as Vang goes to trial for the murders, bringing forth insight from others within the Hmong community, as well as repercussions that they would face later on.
