SHAH ALAM, March 2 — The High Court here will hear on June 16 the Attorney-General’s objection to an application for a review of his decision not to appeal against Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda’s acquittal in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case.
Judicial Commissioner fixed the date in chambers after senior federal counsel Datuk Kamaluddin Md Said, for the Attorney-Geneal, and Abdul Razak’s counsel, Wong Kian Kheong, asked for time to file submissions on the objection.
The court was to have heard today the application by Altantuya’s father, Shaariibuu Setev, a Mongolian, for a review of the Public Prosecutor’s decision not to appeal the acquittal of Abdul Razak on a charge of abetting in the murder of his daughter.
The application filed through counsel karpal Singh named the Attorney-General and Abdul Razak as defendants.
High Court judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yassin on Oct 31 last year acquitted and discharged Abdul Razak of abetting Chief Insp Azilah Hadri and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar in Altantuya’s murder but called on the two policemen to enter their defence on the murder charge. — Bernama
