Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian court sentenced two policemen to death Thursday on charges of murdering a Mongolian woman who was blown up with military-grade explosives in 2006.
The murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu, 28, created great controversy after her lover Abdul Razak Baginda, who was a political advisor to Prime Minister Najib Razak, was jointly charged along with the two police officers with her murder.
Abdul Razak was acquitted in October of abetting the murder.
