‘Re-open Altantuya murder probe if…’

Responding to the revelations by Deepak Jaikishan, Musa Hassan says the probe should be re-opened if there is new evidence.

PETALING JAYA: There must be a fresh probe if there is new evidence about the death of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu, said former inspector general of police Musa Hassan.

Pressed on private investigator P Balasubramaniam’s second statutory declaration, Musa, who is also crime watchdog MyWatch patron, repeated:”If got new evidence, there should be a new investigation.”

In December last year, carpet dealer Deepak Jaikishan alleged that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s wife Rosmah Mansor had sought his help to get Balasubramaniam to retract his first statutory declaration which implicated the premier’s family in Altantuya’s death.

Deepak, allegedly in working in cahoots with Nazim Razak, brother of Najib Tun Razak, had sealed a deal with Balasubramaniam to retract his allegation.

However, Najib had since dismissed Deepak’s allegation, saying the latter was not a credible person.
