There is no
perfect crime. The taxi driver hired by Altantuya for the day did not
appreciate that his passenger was kidnapped under his eyes without
payment for the fare. He took note of the registration plate of the

The duo, who were commandos with the elite Special Action Squad, subsequently filed their appeals in the same month. As at Friday February 10, 2012 the hearing date for the appeals of two police personnel convicted of the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu has yet to be fixed because one of them, C/Insp Azilah Hadri has not filed his petition of appeal. Azilah's lawyer J Kuldeep Kumar said the petition could not be filed as he had only received 40 of 57 volumes of the documents. Kuldeep Kumar said the documents were subsequently send to him in stages in the last six months, adding that he would obtain the remaining 17 volumes of documents from the court.
Opposition leaders have said Najib might also have had an affair with Altantuya and that there was a connection between her murder and the controversial multi-billion ringgit Scorpene submarine deal between the Malaysian government and French arms manufacturer DCNS. They said the onus was now on Najib to prove his innocence in the RM6.7billion submarine deal following an allegation of a “third person” in the negotiation that took place in Macau. It is alleged that Altantuya was an interpreter in the deal.
In June 2002, the Malaysian government signed a EUR 1 billion contract with Armaris (now DCNS) and Spanish naval shipbuilder Izar (now Navantia) for 2 SSK Scorpenes and associated support and training.
