Altantuya Murder Trial - Day 11-02 Jul 2007

The trial for the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu took an unexpected turn today after the prosecution told the court that they intended to challenge the evidence given by a key witness. Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah said the prosecution had detected more than four contradictions in the testimony of L/Cpl Rohaniza Roslan with that of her cautioned statement recorded under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Act on Nov 16 last year.
"We also need more time to prepare statements for the court and counsel," he said, requesting for a postponement to identify more contradictions in the evidence given by the 29-year-old policewoman, the seventh prosecution witness and girlfriend of accused C/Insp Azilah Hadri. Judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin obliged but ordered for the hearing to continue tomorrow. This morning, DPP Noorin Badaruddin applied to discontinue the examination-in-chief after three hours, saying "we intend to impeach this witness."
