Cops want to see ex-UTK Azilah Hadri's statutory declaration first

SHAH ALAM (Dec 16): The police has to view the statutory declaration (SD) made by ex-Special Action Unit (UTK) officer Azilah Hadri implicating former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak in the killing of Altantuya Shaariibuu before deciding on what to do next, Malaysiakini reported Bukit Aman saying today.

"We have not even seen the SD yet. Unless you can bring it to us," Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Huzir Mohamad said at a media conference here today.

Huzir Mohamad was also asked if the police are planning to interview Azilah in prison."The authenticity [of the SD] is also yet to be known. We will decide later," the CID director said.

Earlier today, Azilah claimed the order for him to kill Altantuya came from Najib and political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda.  

The news portal “sighted” a statutory declaration (SD) dated Oct 17, 2019 where Azilah revealed that Najib ordered him to “arrest and destroy” Altantuya. Azilah was also told by the former PM (then deputy PM) that the Mongolian woman was a “foreign spy”.

"I asked the DPM what he meant by arrest and destroy the foreign spy, he responded: 'Shoot to kill', and indicating it with a 'slit the throat' gesture," Azilah added.
