SHAH ALAM: Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini diberitahu bahawa Cif Inspektor Azilah Hadri, tertuduh pertama kes pembunuhan Altantuya Shaariibuu, berada di Malaysia pada hari wanita Mongolia itu dibunuh.

Pegawai penyiasat, ASP Tonny Lunggan berkata Azilah diberi tugasan mengiringi orang kenamaan (VIP) ke Hong Kong pada 19 Okt 2006 dan akan berlepas keesokannya tetapi kirakira pukul 5.30 petang hari yang sama, tugasan itu dibatalkan dan Azilah diarah melakukan tugasan rasmi di Putrajaya pada sebelah malamnya.

Tonny, 29, bagaimanapun berkata beliau tidak membuat siasatan sama ada Azilah ada membuat taklimat kepada anggotanya di Bukit Aman pada hari itu dan tiada seorang pun daripada mereka disoal siasat mengenainya.

Beliau juga tidak menjalankan siasatan mengenai kaedah bagaimana senjata diserahkan dan penghantaran senjata untuk anggota yang bertugas sebagai pengiring di luar negara.

Tonny memberitahu mahkamah bahawa cara siasatannya lebih menjurus untuk mendakwa Azilah di mahkamah dan mengakui ada di antara beberapa perkara yang langsung tidak disiasat.

Ditanya peguam J. Kuldeep Kumar yang mewakili Azilah adakah beliau menyiasat pergerakan pistol jenis Glock EAH 387 milik Azilah sama ada disimpan oleh Unit Tindakan Khas (UTK) atau sebaliknya, Tonny berkata: “Pasal pistol Glock ini saya tidak siasat sangat sebab saya tidak berminat.”

Saksi ke75 pendakwaan itu berkata sama ada senjata jenis itu tersimpan dalam peti besi di pejabat UTK atau tidak, beliau tidak akan mengetahuinya kerana beliau hanya menyiasat pergerakan Azilah, bukan pistol.

Kuldeep kemudian merujuk kepada catatan transaksi panggilan telefon bimbit, Azilah yang menunjukkan dia menghubungi seorang petugas di Bukit Aman, Sarjan Ramli Haron.

Beliau mendakwa panggilan itu dibuat Azilah bagi meminta Ramli menyimpan pistol jenis Glock itu di dalam peti besi unit kawalan UTK.

“Saya hanya tahu Azilah membuat panggilan kepada Ramli tetapi tidak mengetahui sama ada Azilah berada di Bukit Aman atau tidak pada waktu itu,” katanya.

Perbicaraan hari ke111 hari ini melibatkan Azilah, 32, dan Koperal Sirul Azhar Umar, 37, keduaduanya anggota Unit Tindakan Khas, yang dituduh membunuh Altantuya, 28, antara 10 malam 19 Okt 2006 dan 1 pagi keesokannya di satu kawasan di Bukit Raja dekat sini.

Penganalisis politik, Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda, 48, pula dituduh bersubahat dengan mereka.

Terdahulu Tonny mengakui beliau hanya menyiasat buku daftar jenis senjata ‘rifle’ seperti pump gun dan MP5 dan tidak menyiasat buku daftar bagi kategori senjata jenis pistol seperti Glock.

Katanya menerusi buku daftar jenis ‘rifle‘ itu didapati Azilah telah mengambil 10 laras senjata MP5 pada 24 Ogos 2006 dan dipulangkan semula tiga hari selepas itu.
Tonny juga memberitahu mahkamah terdapat beberapa nombor talian di dalam trasaksi panggilan Azilah juga tidak disiasat dan tidak diketahui siapa pemiliknya.

Katanya walaupun terdapat beberapa perkara yang tidak disiasat, beliau tetap menyiasat mengenai permohonan alibi oleh pihak pembelaan terhadap Azilah.

Sementara itu ketika disoal peguam Datuk Hazman Ahmad yang juga mewakili Azilah adakah tindakan Azilah yang turut membawa Lans Kopral Rohaniza Roslan (teman wanita Azilah) ke rumah Abdul Razak ketika kehadiran Altantuya di situ adalah mengikut peruntukan sebagai anggota polis, Tonny berkata:

“Saya tidak setuju dan kejadian pada malam itu adalah tidak bersesuaian.”

“Rumah Abdul Razak adalah di kawasan Brickfields dan dalam bidang kuasa Balai Polis Travers sepatutnya mereka menghubungi Balai Polis Travers dan tangkapan perlu dibawa ke balai terdekat. Keduadua mereka juga dari cawangan berbeza,” katanya.

Perbicaraan di hadapan Hakim Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin disambung esok. BERNAMA

SHAH ALAM: A defence lawyer tried to produce evidence to suggest that his client Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri was at his office in Bukit Aman the night Altantuya Shaariibuu was murdered.

The evidence was in the form of a station diary taken from the Special Action Squad (UTK) control room in Bukit Aman.

Azilah’s lawyer, J. Kuldeep Kumar, said the entries in the diary suggested that Azilah was at Bukit Aman on the night of Oct 19, 2006.

He tried to produce this evidence through senior investigating officer ASP Tonny Lunggan but this was objected to by DPP Tun Abd Majid Tun Hamzah, who said it was hearsay.

Tun Abd Majid said: “It is improper to tender this exhibit through this witness as he (Tonny) is not the maker or the keeper of the station diary.
“How can this piece of evidence be made admissible?”

Judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin asked Kuldeep why he was referring the station diary to Tonny.

Kuldeep said: “It is important that the station diary is made admissible as it places Azilah at Bukit Aman between 10.18pm and 10.20pm and not at the crime scene.”

Tun Abd Majid, however, again reiterated that it was improper to tender this exhibit through Tonny.

“If it is tendered through the maker of the entry or the officer-in-charge of the station, then I am not objecting.”

Counsel Datuk Hazman Ahmad, who is Kuldeep’s co-counsel, then stood up and asked that the witness supply the original copy of the diary.

“We obtained a copy of the diary extract from prosecution,” said Hazman.

But when Mohd Zaki asked Tonny if this was the same copy from the station diary he had seen during his investigations at the UTK control room, the witness said he was not sure.

Mohd Zaki then asked both parties to argue on the admissibility of the exhibit today.

“I am interested in what the DPP said, that such documents are only tendered during the defence stages of a case.

“I have my reservations. This is not a civil case,” he said.

Azilah, 31, and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 36, both UTK members, are charged with Altantuya’s murder at Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20, 2006.

Abdul Razak Baginda, 47, is charged with abetting them.

Earlier, under cross-examination by Abdul Razak’s counsel, Wong Kian Kheong, the witness said he recorded Abdul Razak’s cautioned statement on Oct 30, 2006 at the Brickfields police district.

Wong: Based on the cautioned statement, do you agree that Azilah was introduced to Abdul Razak by DSP Musa Safri?

Tonny: Yes.

Wong: Was DSP Musa’s cautioned statement recorded?

Tonny: Yes, but by another officer.

When asked if he knew which room Altantuya and two others — Burmaa Oyuchimeg and Uuriintuya Gal-Orchir — had stayed in at Hotel Malaya, Tonny said rooms 821 and 823.

However, based on the hotel’s registration of guests for rooms 817 and 821, Wong said the women had stayed in both these rooms and not 823.

“It was my mistake. Rooms 821 and 823 are next to each other. They initially stayed in 817 but they changed rooms after that. They kept changing rooms,” Tonny said when asked to explain.
