PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The hearing of former police commando Azilah Hadri's review application to set aside his conviction and death sentence for the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu scheduled on Monday (April 20) at the Federal Court has been vacated.
Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar said the Attorney General's Chambers receive a notice from the court dated April 14 stating that the hearing is postponed and a new hearing date would be fixed.
In December last year, the court had set April 20 for hearing on Azilah's review earlier. However, the movement control order has been extended until April 28. Azilah who is currently on death row at Kajang Prison, filed his review application on Dec 5, last year together with his 32-paged statutory declaration which he claimed that the order to kill Altantuya had come from the former prime minister who was deputy prime minister then.
In December last year, lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah told the media that his client, Najib, had totally denied everything that had been alleged by Azilah.
