Najib Razak has repeatedly denied any involvement in the brutal murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006.PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak has rubbished fresh claims by one of the convicted killers of Altantuya Shaariibuu that the former prime minister had ordered him to carry out the brutal murder of the Mongolian woman in 2006.
This followed Azilah Hadri’s allegation from behind bars that he and Sirul Azhar Umar – who has since fled to Australia after they were sentenced to death – had received a “shoot to kill” order.
“This is a complete fabrication by a desperate person seeking to escape the gallows,” Najib told FMT in an immediate reaction to Malaysiakini’s report on Azilah’s claims, contained in an application to review the Federal Court’s decision in 2015 which found them guilty of the murder.
“Why did this information not come out earlier, and only now, more than a decade after her death and only after 19 months PH has been in power? ” asked Najib.
