ACCUSED OF LYING, IGP DARES ‘DESPERATE’ SIRUL TO TELL ALL

20130627kl03
(Malay Mail Online) – Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar today maintained his officers had questioned Sirul Azhar Umar in Australia, after the former police commando said no official met him to check his claim that he killed Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu under orders.
Referring to a report by news portal Malaysiakini that carried Sirul’s allegation today, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) said he has no reason to mislead the public and instead challenged the former commando to “spill the beans” if he indeed has new information.
“Sirul is a desperate man who is resorting to desperate measures to save his life. He is doing his best not to return to Malaysia where he will be facing the death penalty.
“As such, he is doing his utmost to bring into disrepute and cast doubt on the investigation into the murder case, his involvement therein and the criminal justice system,” Khalid said in a statement today.
Earlier today, Sirul denied that he was interviewed by Malaysian police in Australia over his claim that he was told by a superior to murder Shaariibuu along with another former commando, Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri.
“Let me tell you, there were no officers or police personnel who met me in Australia,” Sirul told Malaysiakini.
“He is lying to the police force and lying to the public with his claims and is trying to protect his boss.”
Yesterday, Khalid reportedly said the police had met the former police commando in Australia where Sirul is being held at an immigration detention centre.
The IGP was answering a public query by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who said authorities must check on Sirul’s claim that he was ordered by his superiors to murder Shaariibuu.
Azilah and Sirul were charged with murdering Altantuya in 2006 and convicted by the High Court in 2009.
They were freed after the appellate court acquitted them in 2013, but the Federal Court reversed the acquittal in January and sent them back to the gallows, marking an end to the eight-year saga.
Sirul was a no-show during the Federal Court hearing and it was later revealed that he is in Australia.
Malaysia is seeking to extradite him to face his sentencing, but he remains in Sydney as Australia’s laws forbid its government from sending criminals to countries that have the death penalty.
