The Shah Alam High Court today acquitted political analyst Abdul Razak
Baginda of abetting the alleged murder of Mongolian national Altantuya
Shaariibuu.
Justice Mohd Zaki Md Yasin ruled that the prosecution failed to prove a
prima facie case against Abdul Razak.
The court however ordered Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 32 and Corporal
Sirul Azha Umar, 37, who are members of the Special Action Force (UTK), to enter
their defence to the charge of murder.
Both decided to testify under oath. They will be taking the stand
on Nov 10.
The prosecution is expected to file an appeal against Abdul Razak's
acquittal.
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 Baginda, 47, 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 prosecution closed its case against the trio on June 23 after 151
days of testimony from 84 witnesses.
An elated Abdul Razak left the court with his wife and daughter at
about 10.10am.
Refusing to address the journalists who cornered him, Abdul Razak
merely said: “I just want to go home”.

Another thing is why the police didn't investigate Najib?
And who erased the details on Altantuya's passport??
Lasker: yeah Northern Thailand we go!!!!!! How I wish I won that 20 million Toto... Hmmmm
Anonymous: Yeah.. As like everyone had been saying, no one ever saw the other two's face as they were covered all the time. So even they are sentenced to death, we can't be so sure....
