B.Sodnomdarjaa and T.Chimgee, both suspected of killing the renowned politician and democratic revolutionary S.Zorig, have been in detention since 2015. Earlier today (27^th of October), the mother of B.Sodnomdarjaa and T.Chimgee's siblings called a conference at the ‘Zuunii Medee’ press center about the Zorig assassination. The family of the suspects said that Mongolian law enforcement agencies are trying to frame them instead of exposing the truth about Zorig's assassination.

L.Javjmaa, the mother of B.Sodnomdarjaa, said her son was at home and working with his father on their farm when Zorig was killed on 2^nd of October 1998.

T.Khurelbat, the brother of T.Chimgee said law enforcers arrested her when she was working in Erdenet. T.Chimgee has three children and they were young in 1998, said her brother. According to him, T.Chimgee was  framed by Amgalanbaatar, who had been jailed for homicide. Amgalanbaatar is the adopted son of the parent's of T.Chimgee’s husband. He used to live close to B.Sodnomdarjaa’s family.

B. Bulgan, the widow of the assassinated politician, was released from jail due to health issues in September. She had been in solitary confinement for 10 months without being charged. According to unofficial sources, D.Bulgan was being investigated for concealing information about S.Zorig’s murder and giving false statements about her husband’s death in court 17 years ago.
