Two Men, Former Police Commando Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 43, And Former Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 38, Received The Mandatory Punishment For Murder – Death By Hanging

It Has Been A Nerve-Wrecking Eight Years For Them. In 2009, The High Court Found Them Guilty And Meted The Death Sentence. In 2013, They Walked Out Of Prison As Free Men After Winning Their Acquittal From The Court Of Appeal.

His Lawyer Later Revealed That He Had Lost Contact With Him For Six Months And Has No Idea Of His Whereabouts

An Anonymous Source Told Bernama That Sirul Had Left For Australia Two Months Ago. The Source Said Sirul Did Not Escape And Was Anticipating The Death Sentence, But "It Was Necessary For Him To Be Overseas".

Malaysiakini Believes A Conspiracy Lies Behind Sirul's Absence. During The Hearing, Sirul Claimed To Have Been Made A Scapegoat "For Their Plans", Without Revealing Who "They" Were

Furthermore, The Motive Of Altantuya's Murder Was Never Established In The Shah Alam High Court, The Court Of Appeal, Nor The Federal Court. It Was Ruled Not Essential To The Case.

The Federal Court Has Issued A Warrant Of Arrest And A Manhunt Is On For Sirul, Who Is Now A Convicted Murderer

Meanwhile, Steven Shaariibuu's RM100 Million Civil Suit Against Putrajaya, The Two Convicts, And Najib's Close Associate Abdul Razak Baginda Will Continue
