Altantuya Shaariibuu’s family should be able to access statements that the police recorded from potential witnesses as her murder trial had already ended in 2015 with a federal court ruling, a lawyer representing the family submitted today.

Sangeet Kaur Deo is appealing on behalf of the family the Shah Alam High Court decision on July 23 last year which denied their application to obtain the statements recorded by police under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

The family seek the statements as...

Fugitive wanted for Bill Kayong’s murder arrested after six years

British woman charged with murder of M’sian-born pensioner

NGO renews call for Coroner Court Act to probe custodial deaths

Suhakam to probe suspicious custodial death in Kajang prison
