Bekas anggota polis elit Sirul Azhar Umar
berkata beliau tidak pernah mengaku membunuh Altantuya Shaariibuu,
walaupun Mahkamah Persekutuan mensabitkannya bersalah.
Dalam wawancara melalui telefon dengan Malaysiakini, dia mengulangi kenyataan bahawa dia bertindak atas arahan dan menjadi kambing hitam dalam kes itu.
“Sampai hari ini tiada saksi terhadap kematian itu.“Semua ini hanya berdasarkan keterangan mengikut keadaan yang dikaitkan dengan saya (terhadap pembunuhan itu)
“Saya faham bahawa keterangan mengikut keadaan tidak sekuat keterangan langsung,” kata Sirul (kanan), 43, bapa kepada dua orang anak itu.
Bulan lepas, Mahkamah Persekutuan mensabit dan menjatuhi hukuman mati pada Sirul dan seorang lagi bekas komando polis Azilah Hadri ekoran kes pembunuhan pada 2006 itu.
Mereka berdua dikatakan menembak mati dan meletupkan seorang warganegara Mongolia di dalam hutan.
Bagaimanapun, mahkamah dan pihak pendakwaan tidak menentukan motif di sebalik tindakan itu.
Ia mencetuskan spekulasi apabila Razak Baginda, penganalisis politik dan rakan rapat perdana menteri, dikaitkan dengan perkara itu.
Razak dibebaskan tanpa dipanggil membela diri.Datuk Seri Najib Razak, ketika itu timbalan perdana menteri, menafikan mempunyai sebarang kaitan dalam kes itu dan bersumpah dengan nama Allah.
Polis juga membersihkan namanya.
Najib (atas) pagi ini diminta oleh pemberita mengulas dakwaan Sirul bahawa dia bertindak atas arahan dan pihak yang mempunyai motif masih bebas.
Najib hanya menjawab perkara itu “mengarut”.
Semalam, Malaysiakini melaporkan bahawa Sirul tidak berpuas hati dengan prosiding undang-undang, termasuk kegagalan memanggil pegawai atasannya DSP Musa Safri.
Musa bekas pembantu Najib.
Kenapa polis dedah muka?
Sementara itu, bekas komando polis itu juga kesal dengan kenyataan Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar yang mendedahkan gambarnya.
”Kenapa
dedah gambar saya tanpa kebenaran? Sejak awal pendengaran hingga rayuan di Mahkamah Persekutuan, saya berjaya tutup muka.
”Apa tujuannya (dedah gambar saya),” soalnya.
Sirul tidak hadir ketika keputusan diumumkan kerana berada di Australia.
Dia kini ditahan oleh imigresen negara kanggaru itu di Sydney.
Undang-undang Australia tidak membenarkan pihak berdepan hukuman mati dieksradisi ke negara hukuman dijatuhkan.
Sirul sedang mempertimbangkan untuk mendedahkan segala-galanya berhubung kes itu. - mk
I never admitted killing Altantuya Shaaribuu...
In a telephone conversation with Malaysiakini, he maintained that he had acted under orders and was being made a scapegoat.
"There are no witnesses to the murder until today. All this is based on circumstantial evidence linking me (to the murder)."I understand that circumstantial evidence is not strong as direct evidence," said the 43-year-old father of two.
Last month, the apex court convicted Sirul and another former police commando Azilah Hadri in relation to the 2006 murder.
The pair was said to have shot dead the Mongolian national and blew up her remains with military-grade explosives in a jungle.
However,
the prosecution and court did not establish a motive and this fueled
speculation, especially since one of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s
close associate, political analyst Razak Baginda was also implicated.Razak Baginda was charged with abetting the murder but was freed without his defence being called.
Najib, who was then deputy prime minister, also denied any links with the matter and swore in the name of God as well. The police also cleared him of any wrongdoing.
This morning, the prime minister dismissed Sirul's claim of having acted under orders and that those who had a motive to kill her are still free as "utter rubbish".
Yesterday,
Malaysiakini reported Sirul's dissatisfaction with the legal
proceedings, among others, his former superior DSP Musa Safri (left), who was then Najib’s aide de camp.Meanwhile, the former police commando is also upset with Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar for releasing his photograph.
"Why reveal the photo without my consent? Since the start of the hearing and up to the appeal at the Federal Court, I managed to hide my face.
"What is the purpose (of releasing my photo)?" he asked.
Sirul, who did not turn up at court when the verdict was announced, was later arrested in Brisbane, Australia, on Jan 21 after an Interpol red notice was issued.
He is currently being held at the Villawood immigration detention centre in Sydney, where he has been given access to a mobile phone and internet.
Malaysia aims to file for his extradition but Australian law forbids sending back those who face capital punishment in their home countries.
Sirul had also told Malaysiakini that he is planning to reveal all on the case after being approached by several Australian media organisations.- mk
Jika tak kenal, kenapa kata mengarut...
Sirul sebelum ini mendakwa beliau bertindak membunuh wanita Mongolia Altantuya Shaariibu kerana "hanya mengikut arahan” dan pihak yang mempunyai motif masih bebas.
"Ini
kerana Datuk Seri Najib sebelum ini pernah mengaku malah bersumpah
tidak mengenali wanita bernama Altantuya Shaariibuu; jika benar beliau
tidak mengenali dan tiada apa-apa kaitan, mengapa beliau memberi komen
sebegini?"Dan adakah beliau mempunyai maklumat lebih dari apa yang diketahui umum tentang perlakuan Sirul sehingga dapat memberi kesimpulan sebegitu?" kata Pengarah Komunikasi Fahmi Fadzil (atas).
Dalam kenyataannya hari ini, Fahmi yang juga naib ketua Pemuda PKR (AMK) berkata ulasan Najib selaku menteri kewangan turut mencetuskan persepsi umum bahawa "ada sesuatu yang tidak kena" di dalam kes itu.
"Sama seperti rakan-rakan dalam Pakatan Rakyat, saya juga berharap pihak berkuasa tidak akan berlengah untuk menyiasat perkara ini," katanya.
Sementara itu, mengulas isu yang sama, MP Gelang Patah Lim Kit Siang berkata kenyataan Najib itu tidak boleh membersihkan namanya dan membayangkan beliau tahu keadaan yang membawa kepada pembunuhan Altantuya oleh Sirul dan rakannya Azilah Hadri.
"Adakah Najib bersetuju bahawa ia adalah kelemahan besar keadilan jika Sirul dan Azila dihantar ke tali gantung manakala dalang pembunuhan Altantuya yang mempunyai motif untuk membunuhnya dan memusnahkan bukti dengan meletupkan tubuhnya dengan bahan letupan C4 dibenarkan bebas begitu saja," katanya.- mk
MP to file MACC report if IGP does not budge....
A DAP lawmaker will lodge a report with the
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) against Inspector-General of
Police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar if he refuses to probe the claim by Sirul
Azhar Umar.
Klang MP Charles Santiago said a report will also be lodged against Khalid with the Enforcement Agencies Integrity Commission (EAIC) if the IGP maintains the same stance in a week's time.
"I'll
give him a week. With (Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s) statement
today, it is now Khalid's responsibility to probe (Sirul's remarks)," he
told Malaysiakini.
A police report was lodged by DAP MP Lim Lip Eng this morning, urging a police to probe Sirul’s claim that he acted under orders.
However, Khalid said the police require sufficient grounds to initiate a probe and the DAP report was based on hearsay reported in the media.
When attending the MCA open house this morning, Najib had dismissed Sirul’s claim that the former police commando acted under orders and that those with a motive to kill Altantuya Shaariibuu are still free.
The PM had described it as "utter rubbish".
Referring to a Malaysiakini interview, in which Sirul said he is considering revealing all about the murder, Santiago termed it as "explosive".
"Therefore, the police should not make an exception," he said, asking if the police were protecting certain people by not wanting to initiate a probe.
He said that Najib's statement implied that the prime minister "is in the know" regarding what had happened.
He also urged the judiciary to issue a stay of execution against both Sirul and another former police commando, Azilah Hadri, until Najib is questioned.
Both Sirul and Azilah were convicted with the 2006 murder and sentenced to death last month.
Sirul, however, fled to Australia before the verdict was announced and is being held in an immigration detention centre in Sydney.
