[NEW UPDATE] Altantuya Case: Is Putrajaya Deliberately Delaying The Murder Appeal?

Putrajaya appears to be dragging its feet on the appeal against the acquittal of two former police commandos for the high profile murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu, said veteran lawyer Karpal Singh.

He said the Attorney General's Chambers can file its petition of appeal and state reasons why the Court of Appeal was wrong when it acquitted the two policemen based on the written grounds of the judgment.

"They can expedite the appeal process to the Federal Court even without having the entire records of appeal," Karpal told The Malaysian Insider in Kuala Lumpur. The lawyer is holding a watching brief for his client, Setev Shaariibuu, the father of Altantuya.

Karpal said he feared that the appeal would be further delayed if for some reason the policemen did not turn up for the proceedings. "The criminal appeal cannot proceed without the presence of the respondents," he said.

Karpal said he was concerned as his client, Setev Shaariibuu, had filed a RM100-million suit against Abdul Razak, Azilah, Sirul and the government over his daughter’s death. "It has already been six years after the suit was filed but Setev's case cannot be heard unless this criminal trial is over and done with,"

Azilah, 34, and former corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 39, were convicted and sentenced to death by the High Court in Shah Alam in 2009, for murdering Altantuya, 28, at Mukim Bukit Raja in Shah Alam between 10pm on Oct 19, and 1am on Oct 20, 2006.

Former political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, 50, who was charged with abetting them, was acquitted by the High Court on Oct 31, 2008 after the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against him.

The Court of Appeal postponed to June 24 the appeal hearing of two policemen convicted of murdering Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006 owing to the need for court documents to be produced to back up the additional grounds of appeal.

“So the Court of Appeal thinks it is necessary in the interest of justice for them to look at this document to decide on the appeal... That is the reason why the court has postponed this matter,” Kamarul said.
