Sirul nak londeh kes Altantuya...


Bekas anggota Unit Tindakan Khas (UTK) Koperal Sirul Azhar Umar (gambar bawah) bersedia untuk mendedahkan perkara sebenar di sebalik misteri pembunuhan wanita Mongolia, Altantuya Shariibuu kepada media Australia.

Sirul yang dikatakan lari daripada hukuman gantung berkata, wawancara dengan stesen televisyen itu belum dilakukan memandangkan dirinya masih berada dalam tahanan imigresen.

"Ya, saya pertimbangkan kemungkinan ini dengan serius," katanya seperti dilaporkan portal Malaysiakini.

Katanya, beliau hanya bertindak mengikut arahan dan tidak pernah mengenali Altantuya atau bekas penganalisis politik Abdul Razak Baginda dan yakin dalang sebenar masih bebas di luar sana.

"Saya bertindak atas arahan. Orang penting yang mempunyai motif masih bebas," katanya.

Razak dalam temu bual bersama The Malaysian Insider pada Januari lalu berkata, pembunuhan Altantuya tidak membabitkan sebarang konspirasi dan tidak ada sebab untuk dipolitikkan.

Razak berkata, jika ada pihak yang mengatakan pembunuhan itu ada kaitan dengan konspirasi polis, maka banyak konspirasi lain akan muncul.

“Sebenarnya (kisah) pembunuhan ini sangat membosankan. Ia pembunuhan semata-mata, tetapi masih ada orang yang percaya polis tidak boleh melakukan ia tanpa arahan,” katanya.

Menyifatkan Sirul dan rakan setugasnya, Ketua Inspektor Azilah Hadri sebagai 'penyangak', Razak berkata 2 bekas anggota polis itu bertindak menurut kemahuan mereka sendiri ketika melakukan pembunuhan itu, sambil menambah, "ini yang diputuskan mahkamah".

"Hanya 2 anggota polis itu saja yang tahu. Polis yang penyangak memang bunuh orang, seperti dalam kebanyakan kes reman," katanya.

Mahkamah Persekutuan pada 13 Januari lalu menjatuhkan hukuman mati ke atas Sirul dan Azilah kerana bersalah membunuh Altantuya, 9 tahun lalu.

Panel 5 hakim Mahkamah Persekutuan dipengerusikan Ketua Hakim Negara Tun Arifin Zakaria sebulat suara mengetepikan keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan pada 23 Ogos, 2013 selepas mendapati Mahkamah Rayuan terkhilaf dalam keputusannya.

Keterangan dalam mahkamah mendedahkan Altantuya dibunuh sama ada dengan bahan letupan C4 atau dibunuh terlebih dulu dan mayatnya dihapuskan pada 18 Oktober, 2006 di pinggir bandar Shah Alam, berhampiran ibu kota Kuala Lumpur.

Semasa perbicaraan, Razak yang juga rapat dengan Datuk Seri Najib Razak, mendapatkan pertolongan Timbalan Superintenden Musa Safri kerana tidak tahan dengan gangguan daripada Altantuya.

Musa pada masa itu merupakan pembantu peribadi Najib, yang ketika itu timbalan perdana menteri.

Pada 23 Ogos, 2013 panel 3 hakim Mahkamah Rayuan membebaskan 2 anggota polis itu kerana kekurangan bukti.

Hakim Tengku Maimun Tengku Mat, yang membacakan keputusan berkata, mereka sepatutnya dibebaskan tanpa dipanggil membela diri.

Hakim memutuskan kegagalan memanggil Musa adalah punca kekalahan kes pendakwaan itu.

Tengku Maimun mengingatkan episod buruk dan dahsyat itu bermula dengan permintaan Razak kepada Musa sebelum Azilah dan Sirul dilibatkan.

Pihak pendakwaan berkata tidak perlu memanggil Musa sebagai saksi kerana beliau hanya seorang sampingan dalam kes itu, dan afidavit Razak yang menyokong permohonan ikat jaminnya mendedahkan peranan pegawai kanan polis itu terhad kepada memperkenalkan beliau (Razak) kepada ketua polis Brickfields.

Malah Sirul, yang memberi kenyataan tidak bersumpah dari kandang tertuduh, berkata Musa tidak terlibat dan tidak memberi sebarang arahan.

Sirul juga merayu hakim agar tidak dikenakan hukuman mati itu.

"Saya kambing hitam yang harus dikorbankan untuk melindungi orang yang tidak dinamakan," katanya.

Azilah memberi notis alibi kepada pihak pendakwa mengatakan beliau tidak berada di lokasi kejadian jenayah, dan mengemukakan salinan diari stesen menunjukkan beliau berada di Ibu Pejabat Polis Persekutuan di Bukit Aman pada masa kejadian.

Penghakiman menegaskan Azilah dan Sirul dikesan di hotel di mana Altantuya tinggal dan kedua-dua berada di luar rumah Razak pada malam dia hilang.

Mahkamah juga menerima keterangan maklumat yang membawa kepada penemuan apabila mereka secara sukarela membawa polis ke tempat kejadian yang terpencil itu.

Tambahan pula, Sirul tidak dapat memberi penjelasan berkenaan selipar berlumuran darah yang ditemui di dalam keretanya dan penemuan barang kemas di rumahnya.- tmi

Sirul mulls revealing all on Altantuya murder...

After fleeing to Australia to escape the hangman's noose, former police commando Sirul Azhar Umar is now mulling answering the biggest riddle in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder - why did he and Azilah Hadri shoot dead the Mongolian woman and blow up her remains with explosives?

In a recent telephone conversation with Malaysiakini, Sirul disclosed that several Australian media have requested for a "tell all" interview with him.

"I haven't decided (on whether) to do the interview," he said.

Asked if he would be prepared to spill the beans should he proceed with the interview, the former policeman replied, "Yes, I am seriously considering the possibility."

Malaysiakini learnt that several Australian television stations have approached Sirul, who is now being detained at the Immigration and Border Protection Department's facility in Villawood, Sydney.

However, negotiations between Sirul and the TV stations are still ongoing.

'I acted under orders'

Meanwhile, Sirul also told Malaysiakini that he did not know the murder victim or Abdul Razak Baginda - the political analyst and close associate of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak who was discharged with abetting the murder.

"I was under orders. The important people with motive (to murder Altantuya (left)) are still free," he said, declining to elaborate further.

"It is not like I do not love the police (force) or the country, but I acted under orders," he reiterated.

Responding to a question, Sirul said he was doing fine at the immigration detention centre and is allowed access to a mobile phone as well as the Internet.

"I normally read Malaysiakini, Utusan (Malaysia) and Harakah to follow the latest development back home," he added.

The divorced 43-year-old father of two however is worried about his two children, both of whom are teenagers and had to stop schooling as a result of his incarceration.

Made a 'scapegoat'

Last month, Sirul and Azilah were sentenced to death after the Federal Court overturned their acquittal in the murder case.

There were numerous questions pertaining to the case. Chief among them was that the prosecution and courts failed to establish a motive for the grisly murder.

During the onset of the case, Najib, who was then deputy prime minister, swore in the name of God that he had nothing to do with the matter.

His former aide de camp, deputy superintendent Musa Safri, who told Azilah to help Razak Baginda (right) on the night of the murder, was not called to testify in the sensational trial.

During the trial at the Shah Alam High Court, Sirul had caused a stir when he claimed that he was being made a "scapegoat" to "protect their plans".

The former police commando was absent at the Federal Court when the verdict was delivered and news later emerged that he was in Australia.

The government had vowed to file an application to extradite him despite Australian law dictating that a person facing the death penalty in his or her home country cannot be sent back. - mk


Letter for Phua, but no mattress for Anwar...

If Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi can pen a support letter for an alleged gambling kingpin, why can't he give a proper mattress to opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, asked Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali.

He said Anwar, who has undergone a major spine surgery, has only been given a one-inch thick mattress by the Prisons Department.

He added that there is also no table and chair in his cell.

"So if the home minister can give a support letter to an alleged gambling kingpin, why not Anwar?" he asked.

The opposition leader had a surgery in 2004 in Germany.

Meanwhile, Azmin (right) noted that PKR had already sent an application to the prison for Anwar to be given the proper necessities.

“We ask so that basic necessities are given to this political prisoner, and the lawyers are arranging for such needs to be supplied by the prison,” Azmin said.

He also clarified that PKR is not pushing for Anwar to be given VIP treatment, like what has been speculated before this.

Yesterday, the Prisons Department stated that Anwar would not be getting special treatment, and that he would be treated equally like the other inmates. - mk
