Cops accused of killing Altantuya lodge police reports against blogger Raja Petra

sun2surf - [...] He also claimed that the prison authorities said they would not be able to guarantee his safety.

"We have taken down statements from both the accused saying that the incident never happened," said Hazman.

Both of them never met Raja Petra while he was in remand and did not know where he was placed during this time, he said.

Sirul and Azilah, who were in the same block as me, Blok Damai, shouted for me to watch my back and that they will get me. I was quickly whisked out of the block. It seems they were angry that the Altantuya murder trial, which had disappeared from the radar screens, has now, again, been given the spotlight. Why should that upset them? Why the need for the Altantuya murder trial to disappear from the radar screens?"

"There is absolutely no basis for him to speculate that the duo were angry based on the fact that the trial was in the spotlight again," Kamarul said.
