BREAKING NEWS [Malaysiakini]:
The Shah Alam High Court today acquitted political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda of abetting the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
…
The court however ordered chief inspector Azilah Hadri, 32 and corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 37 – from the elite Special Action Force (UTK) which guards the prime minister and deputy prime minister – to enter their defence to the charge of murder.
…
Karpal Singh, a lawyer representing Altantuya’s family, said that based on the evidence Abdul Razak should have been called to defend the accusations.“They should not have acquitted him at this stage of the trial,” he said.
Why not Sardarjee? Because he may spill the beans on who actually ordered the killing right?
Najib, who is expected to be appointed premier next March when Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi stands down, has vehemently denied any involvement in the case.
Top blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin has repeatedly linked Najib and his wife to the murder on his popular website Malaysia Today. He was jailed in September under tough security laws for (allegedly) insulting Islam.
Abdullah last month defended his deputy over new allegations that Najib interfered in the case, after Malaysia Today published an SMS text message exchange purportedly between the deputy premier and Abdul Razak’s lawyer.
Altantuya was allegedly shot before her body was blown up with explosives two years ago.
Azilah and Sirul are jointly charged with murdering Altantuya, 28, at a location between Lot 12843 and Lot 16735 in Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor between 10am on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am the following day.
Abdul Razak was charged with abetting them. He is a known confidante of Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, having worked on government arms procurement projects while the latter was defence minister.
The two cops did not know Altantuya from Adam – what motive would they have other than being ordered to do so?
i) a ‘cutthroat defence’, ie: ”I didn’t do it – he did.”
ii) an alibi as to their whereabouts on the night of the murder.
iii) a bare denial
(The two cops will never tell, because that will be their direct ticket to the gallows)
SO, WHO? WHO? WHO?
