The Federal Court is set to decide the its verdict next Tuesday on the Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu’s murder case after the prosecution appealed the acquittal of two ex-commandos who allegedly blew the model up with explosives. The chief registrar of the Federal Court revealed the date yesterday at @MYJudiciary. “Decision of PP v Azilah & Sirul Azhar (Altantuya’s case) at Fed Court fixed on 13/1/2015 at 9.00 am. Follow us for full grounds of judgment,”

The Malay Mail Online informs that the lead prosecutor Datuk Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah told the Federal Court last June that the Court of Appeal had erred when it failed to consider evidence that Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, the two accused of murdering Altantuya in 2006, had easy access to explosives. He also said that the Court of Appeal was wrong when it labeled the explosives used as “C4”, adding that the explosives were PETN and RDX.

The news portal also says that Azilah and Sirul, both formerly with the police’s Special Action Unit (UTK), were found guilty in 2009 of murdering Altantuya in Mukim Bukit Raja in Klang between 10pm on October 19, 2006 and 1am on October 20, 2006. As the trial proceeded it was revealed that the model was first shot and then her body was blown with explosives at a jungle clearing on the 19th of October.
