Mulai kini, kita boleh bunuh orang tanpa motif di 1Malaysia...

Kehakiman Malaysia mencipta satu lagi sejarah hebat apabila mendakwa motif pembunuhan tidak penting dalam pembunuhan kejam Altantuya Shaariibuu, kata Timbalan Presiden PAS, Mohamad Sabu.

"Motif pembunuhan itu mesti di'established'. Motiflah yang mendorong dan merangsang pembunuhan. Orang tak bunuh tak fasal-fasal," kata beliau.

Hari ini, hakim dalam kes pembunuhan wanita Mongolia itu tidak menyentuh secara langsung mengenai motif dua anggota polis yang dituduh membunuh wanita yang dilaporkan sebagai juru bahasa dan broker perniagaan senjata itu dalam penghakiman penuh ke atas kes bunuh itu selepas memberikan keputusan perbicaraan berkenaan dua tahun lalu.

"Walau apapun motif itu, ia adalah perkara undang-undang di mana motif walaupun releven, adalah tidak penting untuk pembunuhan itu dijalankan," kata Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin.

Dua anggota polis dari Unit Tindakan Khas - Cif Inspektor Azilah Hadri dan Koperal Sirul Azhar Umar - didapati bersalah kerana membunuh Altantuya dan dijatuhkan hukuman bunuh.

"Keputusan mahkamah itu dengan sendirinya mengesahkan pandangan sebahagian besar rakyat bahawa Azilah dan Sirul hanyalah boneka pihak tertentu yang sangat berkuasa yang mengarahkan mereka melakukan pembunuhan.

"Adalah tidak masuk akal kedua-dua anggota polis UTK itu sengaja seronok-seronok membuat keputusan untuk membunuh Altantuya tanpa sebarang sebab," kata Mohamad.

Beliau juga menyifatkan keputusan mahkamah itu tidak mampu sama sekali membersihkan nama Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

2009 lalu, didahului oleh akhbar Perancis, Liberation, banyak akhbar dari serata dunia mengaitkan Najib dengan pembunuhan Altantuya itu. Merdeka Review melaporkan, Azilah dan Sirul didakwa sebagai anggota polis yang menjadi pengawal Najib.

Kes tersebut semakin menarik perhatian apabila pada 29 Jun 2007 lalu, seorang saksi perbicaraan, Burmaa Oyunchimeg dilaporkan oleh sebuah akhbar harian pro-Umno telah memberi keterangan bahawa Altantuya pernah berjumpa dengan seseorang yang bernama Najib Razak.

Semasa disoal lanjut oleh peguam Karpal Singh, yang bertindak sebagai peguam pemerhati bagi keluarga Altantuya, Burmaa berkata, Altantuya telah menunjukkan kepadanya gambar Altantuya dan Abdul Razak dengan pegawai kerajaan Malaysia itu serta orang lain sedang menikmati jamuan pada satu meja bulat.

Beliau berkata, Altantuya menunjukkan gambar itu di Hong Kong selepas beliau (Altantuya) balik dari Perancis. (Burmaa bertemu dengan Altantuya di Hong Kong).

Karpal: Boleh kamu terangkan gambar apa?

Burmaa: Ada satu gambar, saya fikir, Altantuya dengan Razak Baginda dan seorang pegawai kerajaan Malaysia dan orang lain sedang menikmati jamuan. Mereka duduk di meja bulat.

Karpal: Kamu tahu siapa pegawai kerajaan itu?

Burmaa: Najib Razak. Saya ingat nama Najib Razak kerana nama Razak itu sama (dengan Abdul Razak Baginda).

Bagaimanapun, Burmaa tidak menunjukkan gambar itu kepada mahkamah.

Najib pula tidak mahu mengulas apabila ditanya mengenai keterangan Burmaa kepada mahkamah itu.

Kerana Najib, Razak Baginda tidak dipanggil bela diri?

Adakah kerana Abdul Razak Baginda merupakan rakan rapat Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak menyebabkan individu itu tidak dipanggil untuk membela diri dalam kes pembunuhan wanita Mongolia, Altantuya Shaariibu?

Itu persoalan diajukan Ketua Angkatan Muda KEADILAN (AMK), Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin berhubung keputusan Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam, Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin tidak memanggil Razak Baginda membela diri dalam kes pembunuhan kejam berkenaan.

Ini kerana katanya, asas kepada kes itu ialah tindakan Abdul Razak Baginda meminta Ketua Pengawal Peribadi Najib, Musa Safri menangani apa yang didakwanya sebagai ugutan wanita itu terhadapnya.

“Persoalannya juga, mengapa Razak Baginda tidak melaporkan kes ugut itu terus kepada polis,” soal Shamsul yang juga seorang peguam ketika dihubungi Keadilandaily.com hari ini.

Beliau mengulas mengenai penghakiman penuh yang ditulis oleh Hakim Mohd Zaki setebal 70 muka surat.

Antara lain, Mohd Zaki mengakui Abdul Razak, yang juga seorang penganalis politik, mungkin mempunyai motif untuk membunuh Altantuya kerana wanita tersebut pernah mengugutnya.

Namun hakim tersebut memutuskan ia tidak boleh menjadi asas kepada mahkamah memanggil tertuduh berkenaan untuk membela diri.

Menurut Shamsul, Razak Baginda sepatutnya  diarah membela diri kerana hakim sendiri mengakui tertuduh itu mungkin mempunyai motif membunuh wanita berkenaan.

“Dalam sesuatu kes jenayah, ia mesti ada niat dan niat itu pula akan disusuli dengan tindakan

“Hakim sepatutnya panggil Razak Baginda membela diri dan memberi keterangan berhubung motifnya dalam kes ini,” katanya lagi.

Dalam penghakiman penuh tersebut, hakim Mohd Zaki menjelaskan sebab dua anggota polis dari Unit Tindakan Khas, Cif Inspektor Azilah Hadri dan Koperal Sirul Azhar Umar didapati bersalah dan dijatuhkan hukuman bunuh.

Mohd Zaki juga menyatakan keadaan si mati yang dibunuh itu adalah tragis, dan “mereka yang melakukan perbuatan terkutuk ini di mana mangsa diletupkan adalah bertujuan untuk menghapuskan bukti”.

Azilah dan Sirul Azhar, dijatuhi hukuman mati oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam pada 9 April, 2009, selepas mendapati mereka bersalah membunuh Altantuya di Mukim Bukit Raja antara 9.45 malam pada 18 Okt, 2006, dan 9.45 malam hari berikutnya.

Kedua-dua mereka yang merupakan anggota komando Unit Tindakan Khas polis, kemudiannya memfailkan rayuan mereka di Mahkamah Rayuan.

Abdul Razak Baginda pula dituduh bersubahat dengan mereka dalam pembunuhan wanita Mongolia itu, namun dibebaskan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi pada 31 Oktober, 2008, tanpa dipanggil membela diri.

Sepanjang perbicaraan selama 159 hari Sirul Azhar dan Azilah Hadri enggan mendedahkan muka.- keadilandaily

Written judgment: Razak Baginda had no prima facie case to answer

Altantuya judgment: Murder motive 'not essential'...

The judge in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial did not allude to the motive behind the killing of the Mongolian woman by two police officers in his written judgment, which was released recently following his verdict two years ago.

"Whatever the motive was, it is a matter of law that the motive, although relevant, has never been the essential to constitute murder," said the Shah Alam High Court judge Mohd Zaki Md Yasin in his 70-page judgment.

He however noted that one of the three accused, Abdul Razak Baginda ( right), may have had a motive to murder Altantuya as she was blackmailing him, but added it cannot be the basis to call for the political analyst's defence.

Abdul Razak, a close confidant of then deputy premier Najib Razak, was acquitted without his defence being called.


However, two police special forces personnel - Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar - were found guilty and given the death sentence.

"The question for which I am to determine at this stage is who could have possibly been connected with the deceased's death," explained the trial judge.

"I begin by asking what was both the first (Azilah) and second accused (Sirul Azhar) doing at Hotel Malaya (where Altantuya, her cousin and a friend stayed) on Oct 18, 2006. All the more to be at the 8th floor, the same floor where the deceased's room was located."

The judge also questioned what Azilah's instructions to Sirul was when Altantuya was transferred from a Proton Wira owned by L/Cpl Rohaniza Roslan (Azilah's girlfriend) to Sirul Azhar's Suzuki Vitara car before the second accused went to Bukit Aman, and why Azilah ( left) was unusually quiet when Rohaniza later asked him about Altantuya.

"All the questions as aforesaid to my mind (are) taken together with the said respective evidence of Section 27 of the Evidence Act against Azilah which led to the discovery of the scene and the remains of the deceased, and of Sirul Azhar's, leading to the discovery of the jewellery of the deceased, spent cartridge and traces of blood stain found in the second accused's car.

"This have the cumulative effect of tending to connect both Azilah and Sirul Azhar to the charge against them," ruled Zaki.

Judge rejects defence's arguments

Zaki said that the manner surrounding the death of Altantuya was tragic, and "the perpetrators who did this despicable act of blasting the deceased must have intended to completely vanish the related evidence to thin air".

The court was told that Azilah allegedly showed the police where Altantuya was blasted with military-grade C-4 explosives. However, the chief inspector denied having said this to the police, resulting in a trial within-a-trial.

Sirul Azhar ( right), who served as a bodyguard in an elite police unit, was arrested during the murder investigation and brought back from Pakistan while he was accompanying the prime minister. Altantuya's jewellery were later found in Sirul Azhar's home and a spent bullet cartridge was recovered from his car.

In the sensational trial, justice Zaki ruled Altantuya's cause of death was due to "blast-related injuries".


While Azilah testified on the witness stand that he was not at the crime scene but was at Wangsa Maju at the time of the alleged incident, Sirul Azhar in his elaborate unsworn statement described how he was made "a scapegoat" where he was asked by the police to show the jewellery found in his home.

"At one point of time, one ASP Zulkarnain Samsudin was seen removing my jacket and was removing something from my jacket. He placed the jacket on the bed and placed the items (jewellery belonging to Altantuya allegedly found in Sirul's jacket).

"Then ASP Zulkarnain asked me to point at the items. I told him I did not want to point and ASP Zukarnain said ‘you just show it Sirul'. At that point, my picture was taken with my finger pointing at the items," said the accused in the unsworn testimony.

Defence was essentially one of denial

Justice Zaki had the full Bahasa Malaysia unsworn testimony in his judgment where among others, Sirul said he did not know the deceased and had no dealings with her and neither did he know Abdul Razak.
 
Sirul also claimed he had observed during the trial how several key prosecution witnesses from D9 (special investigation division) and IPK (police district headquarters) were creating stories and lying and was seen to be changing the version of their stories when cross-examined.

"I viewed this closely as I observed their actions were merely to gain a conviction against me as a scapegoat who would be sacrificed to protect their plan and to implicate me in this heinous crime.

"I did not have any motive to hurt or take her (Altantuya's) life in such a vicious manner," he said in a teary testimony.

Zaki, at the end of both the defence and prosecution, found the defence had essentially been one of denial, of blaming one another, and was irreconcilable and ambivalent.

"Consequently, they have failed to raise any reasonable doubt on the prosecution's case. I am satisfied therefore that the prosecution has proved the case against both the first and the second accused beyond reasonable doubt."

Accordingly, the judge found them guilty and convicted them as charged and sent them to the gallows.

Both Azilah and Sirul have since filed an appeal against their convictions and the Court of Appeal will be setting a date on Friday to hear the application.- malaysiakini

Penghakiman Altantuya: Motif bunuh tak penting

Hakim dalam kes pembunuhan kejam Altantuya Shaariibuu tidak menyentuh secara langsung mengenai motif dua anggota  polis yang dituduh membunuh wanita Mongolia itu dalam penghakiman penuh beliau selepas memberikan keputusan perbicaraan berkenaan dua tahun lalu.

"Walau apapun motif itu, ia adalah perkara undang-undang di mana motif walaupun releven, adalah tidak penting untuk pembunuhan itu dijalankan," kata Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin dalam penghakiman bertulisnya yang setebal 70 mukasurat itu.

Beliau bagaimanapun menyatakan seorang dari tiga tertuduh itu, iaitu penganalisis politk Abdul Razak Baginda mungkin mempunyai motif  untuk membunuh Altantuya kerana wanita tersebut pernah mengugut beliau tetapi ini tidak boleh jadi asas kepada mahkamah memanggil tertuduh berkenaan untuk membela diri.  

Abdul Razak, adalah rakan rapat kepada Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak ketika itu. Abdul Razak kemudiannya dilepas dan dibebaskan tanpa diminta membela dirinya.

Bagaimanapun, dua anggota polis dari Unit Tindakan Khas - Cif Inspektor Azilah Hadri dan Koperal Sirul Azhar Umar - didapati bersalah dan dijatuhkan hukuman bunuh.

Mempunyai kaitan
“Persoalan yang berlegar untuk saya putuskan ketika ini adalah siapa yang mempunyai kaitan untuk menyebabkan kematian itu," kata Hakim Mohd Zaki.

“Saya bermula dengan bertanya kenapa tertuduh pertama (Azilah) dan tertuduh kedua (Sirul Azhar) berada di Hotel Malaya (di mana Altantuya serta sepupu dan rakannya menginap) pada 18 Okt, 2006. (Rakaman litar tertutup menunjukkan) mereka berada di tingkat 8, iaitu tingkat yang sama di mana si mati menginap."

Hakim itu juga mempersoalkan arahan yang diberikan oleh Azilah kepada Sirul Azhar apabila Altantuya dipindahkan dari kereta Proton Wira yang dimiliki oleh L/Cpl Rohaniza Roslan (teman wanita Azilah) ke kenderaan Suzuki Vitara milik Sirul Azhar, sementara tertuduh kedua menuju ke Bukit Aman, dan mengapa  Azilah tiba-tiba senyap apabila Rohaniza bertanyakan mengenai Altantuya hari berikutnya.

“Persoalan tersebut berlegar di pemikiran saya dan dengan keterangan di bawah Seksyen 27, Akta Keterangan, terhadap Azilah yang beliau menunjukkan tempat kejadian di mana cebisan mayat mangsa dijumpai manakala Sirul Azhar pula membawa sehingga terjumpanya barangan kemas milik si mati, kelongsong peluru dan tkesan tompokan darah di kereta tertuduh kedua."

“Ini menggambarkan penglibatan Azilah dan Sirul Azhar terhadap pertuduhan yang dihadapkan terhadap mereka," kata Mohd Zaki dalam penghakimannya.

Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi itu juga menyatakan keadaan si mati yang dibunuh itu adalah tragis, dan "mereka yang melakukan perbuatan terkutuk ini di mana mangsa diletupkan adalah bertujuan untuk menghapuskan bukti".

Kes ini adalah antara pembunuhan paling kejam dalam sejarah negara yang menarik perhatian tempatan dan juga antarabangsa.

Mahkamah juga diberitahu bahwa Azilah telah menunjukkan kepada pihak polis di mana Altantuya diletupkan. Tetapi Cif inspektor itu menafikan keterangan berkenaan sehingga  menyebabkan perbicaraan dalam perbicaraan terpaksa dijalankan.

Pengawal Perdana Menteri

Sirul Azhar yang berkhidmat sebagai pengawal peribadi pula dibawa dari Pakistan selepas bertugas mengiringi Perdana Menteri untuk lawatan luar negara. Barang kemas Altantuya kemudiannya dijumpai di rumahnya manakala kelongsong peluru (spent cartridge) yang telah digunakan dijumpai dari keretanya.

Dalam perbicaraan ini, Hakim Mohd Zaki (kanan) memutuskan punca kematian warga Mongolia itu adalah akibat "kecederaan disebabkan oleh letupan". 

Semasa memberi keterangan dari kandang saksi, Azilah menafikan beliau berada di tempat kejadian dan mendakwa beliau sedang makan di Wangsa Maju makan. Sirul Azhar pula dalam kenyataan tidak bersumpah beliau dari kandang tertuduh berkata beliau dijadikan ‘kambing hitam’ apabila diarah oleh polis untuk menunjukkan barang kemas yang dijumpai di rumah beliau.

"Pada suatu ketika, ASP Zulkarnain Samsudin memasuki bilik tidur utama rumah saya dan diikuti anggota polis lain. Kemudian beliau memanggil jurugambar dan mengarahkan saya memegang jaket itu sambil merakamkan gambar. Saya kemudian nampak ASP Zulkarnain mengambil sesuatu keluar dari jaket. Jaket itu dibentangkan di atas katil dan ASP Zulkarnain mengarahkan saya menuding ke arah barang-barang kemas itu, ASP Zulkarnain berkata ‘kamu tuding barangan tersebut.

“Saya kata ‘Apa ni, Tuan’. Saya tidak mahu ikut arahanya, tetapi ASP Zulkarnain minta saya lakukan juga sambil berkata ‘kamu tunjuklah sahaja Sirul’. Barulah ketika itu, saya lakukannya dan gambar saya diambil," kata tertuduh kedua dalam kenyataan tidak bersumpah beliau.

Kenyataan tidak bersumpah Sirul Azhar dalam Bahasa Melayu juga dimuatkan dalam penghakiman penuh Hakim Mohd Zaki. Tertuduh kedua berkata beliau tidak mengenali si mati dan tidak pernah berurusan dengan wanita itu serta beliau juga tidak mengenali Abdul Razak atau pernah berurusan dengannya.

Tiada sebab

"Saya merayu kepada mahkamah ini mengambil kira bahawa sepanjang perbicaraan ini, saya telah mengikuti prosiding ini dan menyaksikan bagaimana beberapa saksi penting pendakwaan terutamanya saksi-saksi dari D9 IPK (KL) yang mereka-reka cerita, tidak bercakap benar dan sentiasa merubah-ubah cerita mereka ketika disoal balas.

“Saya melihat keadaan ini dengan keprihatinan kerana bagi saya tindakan mereka ini semata-mata bertujuan untuk mendapatkan sabitan terhadap saya sebagai ‘kambing hitam’ yang harus dikorbankan untuk melindungi rancangan dan niat jahat merea yang tidak berada di Mahkakah ini untuk menghadapi natijah daripada perlakuan dan perancangan mereka.

"Saya tidak mempunyai sebarang sebab untuk mencederakan apatah lagi mengambil nyawa mangsa dengan begitu kejam," kata beliau sambil menangis di kandang tertuduh.

Menurut Hakim Mohd Zaki, pada akhir kes pembelaan dan setelah menilai keterangan secara keseluruhan, mahkamah mendapati keterangan pembelaan merupakan penafian (denial), menyalahkan satu sama lain, tak terdamaikan (irreconcilable) dan rasa berbelah terhadap sesuatu (ambivalent).

“Oleh itu mereka gagal menimbulkan keraguan munasabah terhadap kes pihak pendakwaan. Saya berpuas hati pihak pendakwaan berjaya membukitikan kes tersebut melangkaui keraguan munasabah."

Maka, hakim itu memutuskan bahawa kedua-dua anggota polis itu bersalah dan mengarahkan mereka menjalani hukuman mati.- malaysiakini

Commments...

Abil - Yes! the judge is right, there is no need for motive for the murder the Mongolian Altuntanya, because seeking motive may expose the real killers who are responsible for this heinous crime. This two henchman need to be hanged, and this should be lesson to all henchman that crime does not pay. Will they be aquitted in the higher courts?. Anything is possible in our bolehland. 

Multi Racial - Following this case, you do not need to be a homicide expert to conclude that Azilah and Sirul are merely the pawns. They are either directed or paid or both to do the job. There is no doubt they are guilty for murdering Altantuya but justice will not be serve if the mastermind get of free. Even a junior investigator will tell you in any murder case, there has to be a motive. Azilah and Sirul do not have any motive. To them it is merely a job that needs to be done and they did it. Someone powerful and influential that both Razak Baginda and DSP Musa Safri know. Azilah and Sirul would not know as they get the instruction from DSP Musa. So judge, I agree Azilah and Sirul deserved to severely punish for the crime they involved. I am somewhat agree that Razak Baginda don't have a strong motive to murder Altantuya although I am not totally satisfied with his innocent. But justice still not serve as the mastermind/s is or are still free out there. Pray for justice.

al alkuda - I am not lawyer but if A kills B without motive then A must be insane. If A who is not insane kills B without motive but under instruction of C then A is guilty of murder as well for abetting. C is also guilty for giving instruction to murder with a motive. The sad thing in this case is the culprit who gave instruction to kill Altantuya was not established.

chipmunk - How can this judge say that the motive of murder is not essential? The motive is the main cause as to why Altantuya was murdered. The real people behind the motive are freely traveling here and there, getting awards from here and there and the two scape-goats are fully masked in pubic. How come special privilege for this two guys? The simple reason that there will be another two scape-goats (probably some unwanted drug addicts or some homeless men) will be sent to the gallows in the name of justice. So much for TRANSPARENCY & Najib's 1Malaysia.

Magic Mountain - Because the public never saw what the two murderers looked like so even if they carry out the death penalty, we will never know if the who the two policemen are. They could have made a switch and we won't know it or Worst still...the two murderers could be having nasi lemak and teh tarik somewhere in Malaysia as a free man right now. How do you know where they are kept if you do not know their identity? ..... This is really unlike China where death row prisoners are shown to the public before and after execution. In many ways that is better although uncivil but at least we know justice is done. When Pakatan comes into power, Man, do they have a story to tell...

Kairos - I am not a lawyer but I always thoughtvthat in any murder, motive is key. All the movies and TV dramas tell us that. I am sure every law student is taught that. How come in this strange baffling case, the judge says 'motive is not essential'. One of the accused has already said that he has no motive to kill Altantuya and in such a brutal way as well. He is right. Why would a bodyguard want to kill a Mongolian beauty? The only logical explanation is that as an elite special force soldier, he is commanded to do so. Doesn't the learned judge want to know by whom? Strangely, there is not even a mention by the judge as to the possiblity that someone ordered the killing. There is clearly too much cover-up here. Even a fool knows that something is fishy here and somebody high up is being protected. Where is justice in this country? Every Malaysian should bury their heads in shame.

cheers.
