Is the question. Why would two junior police officers murder in cold blood and then desecrate the corpse, and the unborn infant within,without ever having even met the unfortunate victim, let alone having any reason to murder her?

The only believable explanation is that they committed the ghastly crime on the orders of superiors. and their ultimate superior was Najib Razak. The senior of the two gives a wholly believable amount of a meeting with Najib at which he claims the latter ordered him to murder Altantuya. Whether Najib actually pretended that his former staffer was a dastardly spy working for an unnamed boss is really immaterial. As is the unlikely tale that the solution was not to arrest and prosecute her but to murder her truly convinced the police officer concerned.

He was only an Inspector but must be assumed to have been trained as policemen and must have known that he should arrest Najib on the spot or at least make a report to his superiors on the conversation. Yet he did as he was told and that is why Altantuya lost her life in such appalling circumstances.

He was, it is claimed, a member of some secret, and clearly highly illegal, unit within the PDRM. Did the then IGP know of its existence? Or the then Director of the Special Branch?  Of course they must have done and they should now be questioned in detail to establish the likely veracity of Insp Azilah? Whether or not they choose to be frank about it the fact remains that Azilah was not posted elsewhere at the time so what was he doing and on whose orders?  There is clearly more, much more, to come out and the Prime Minister should appoint a qualified person from outside the Police Force to re-investigate the whole affair. Not just the murder but the whole “death squad”

No Malaysian can feel secure or have confidence in a Police Force that has a hidden assassination element within it so an enquiry is as necessary as it is inevitable.
