Altantuya murder : ‘Release all documents’
By CHELSEA L.Y. NG
PETALING JAYA: One of the policemen charged with the murder of Mongolian beauty Altantuya Shaariibuu wants the Attorney-General to release to him all documents that are in his Chambers’ possession that could contradict the prosecution’s case.
The Shah Alam High Court will hear Koperal Sirul Azhar Umar’s application tomorrow.
Lawyer Kamarul Hisham Kamaruddin, who appeared for Kpl Sirul, filed the papers last Friday and served them on the A-G’s Chambers yesterday.
He said his client was also seeking all expert reports and statements recorded from all the potential witnesses in the case.
Kamarul Hisham, however, dispelled rumours that the main trial scheduled for June 4 would be put off.
Lawyer Ram Karpal Singh, who is holding a watching brief for Altantuya’s family, said the victim’s father and cousin sister, who have been listed as witnesses, would be flown in next week along with some Mongolian government officials.
A Mongolian Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman said the representatives from the Mongolian Justice and Internal Affairs Ministry as well as the Foreign Affairs Ministry would be here next month to monitor the trial, which involves prominent political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda.
The spokesman said they were particularly interested to see how the trial would be conducted in the interest of the Mongolian public.
Sources from the prosecution side said the witnesses would be flown in a few days before the trial, which is scheduled for one month. They said there had not been any request for postponement by any party.
Zulkifli Noordin, who acted for the first accused Cif Insp Azilah Hadri, could not be reached for comment.
C/Insp Azilah, 35, and Kpl Sirul, 30, were charged with murdering Altantuya in Lot 12843 and Lot 16735 in Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor, between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20 last year.
The remains of the 28-year-old Mongolian woman, who had been blown to bits with explosives, were found in a forest area in Puncak Alam, Shah Alam, on Nov 7.
Abdul Razak, 46, was charged with abetting the policemen at the Bangunan Getah Asli in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, between 9.54am and 11.05am on Oct 18 last year.
All three face the death penalty if convicted.
