Atlantuya Sharibuu

Justice is blind and swift. Blind in the sense that it is non-bias and fair. Swift in the sense that criminals and the like are not spared and quickly brought to face punishment. Atlantuya Sharibuu, a Mongolian lass, who trusted a man she thought she loved and would take care of her met with her untimely demise in one of the most publicized murder trials in Malaysia.

The man whom she thought would take care of her, Political Analyst, Abdul Razak Baginda, 48, did so but in a wrong manner. In a case whereby the physical evidence is strong, Baginda is now claiming trial to a charge of only "abetting" the murder. Directly or indirectly it is still murder in the first-degree.

The men who are accused of murdering Atlantuya are policemen Chief Inspektor Azilah Hadri, 32, and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 37, who are charged with committing the murder in Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor, between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20 in the year 2006.


There is plainly much deliberation in this case as it has dragged on for a long time. Despite the clarity of the evidence provided, there seems to be much hope for the 3 men as a lot is being done to discredit the evidence at hand. Hopefully, justice shall prevail and swiftly be dealt based on the truth.
