YOURSAY | Why only now is he changing his story, why won't he name who ordered Altantuya's killing?

‘That woman' not pregnant, says Sirul in second video

The Analyser: How could convicted Altantuya Shaariibuu murderer Sirul Azhar Umar possibly know "a certain unnamed "woman" "was not pregnant? Another Malaysian expert in almost everything... except common sense and intelligence.

Septuaman: Whether Altantuya was pregnant or not is a non-issue. What is of import is he coldbloodedly killed her by shooting her in the head - twice. He deserves no clemency and should be denied any freedom of movement whether here or in Australia.

I am against the death penalty but the two killers should be put away for a long, long time if not for life. He is trying to portray himself as a victim of circumstances stating that he was ordered by his superiors to assassinate the poor woman.

An unjust order must be disobeyed because it can never be justified. Look him wearing a kopiah presenting himself as a pious Muslim. Then we've got two bit politicians mollycoddling him to further their political aims. The fact that a defenceless mother was heinously murdered mattered not a bit to them.

Versey: Sirul, it is a fact, not something that had been cooked up, that it's you and the other bodyguard/police officer who killed “that woman", right?

As a matter of fact, whether it's true that a "certain someone" was the target of slander by "certain quarters" or "some media" is aiming to topple the "unnamed person", it is really none of your business.

Neither are you qualified to testify to the rakyat and the world whether that "woman" is pregnant or not.

Please just tell us:

1) Who gave you the order to kill Altantuya and who gave out the instruction to blow her into ashes?

2) From whom and how did you manage to get the C4 explosives? Any sensible human being will tell you that talking straight to the point with honesty is far more pleasing to Almighty God than wearing a holy appearance.

Vijay47: Okay, Sirul, I will tag along with your line, I won't even comment on this new-found practice of murderers and kidnappers decking themselves out in full Islamic regalia.

Just answer one simple question: since you and your accomplice had pumped two bullets into the head of "that woman", which would kill any human, why did you then blow her up?

Dingy: What happened to Sirul's confession to the police, where he supposedly said Altantuya begged for her life as she was pregnant? What was the motive for blowing up the body if not to prevent tracing the DNA's fetus to somebody?

Who was the VVIP that Altantuya told her father about before coming to Malaysia? Did Altantuya contact the VVIP that she carried his baby?

Cocomomo: If he can clearly state she was not pregnant, it means he is lying as instructed or for a donation. No way he can firmly state she was not pregnant. He would not know if she was in her early stages when it would not have been noticeable. Shows that somebody has something to hide.

Visu: All these dirty, corrupt, immoral murderers live in a make-believe world. You are a convicted murderer and nothing you say would matter.

It does not make sense to blow up a young woman with C4 unless there were reasons to do so like trying to hide DNA evidence of the unborn child that belonged to someone very powerful and despised by his wife. Otherwise a murder can be easily done like how DPP Kevin Morais was killed and Hussein Najadi was gunned down.

Bystander: Why did Sirul wait until now to change his story? If you go through the trial, it was stated that Altantunya was begging for mercy as she was bearing a child. So Sirul is alleging the media was lying? Sounds familiar?

Just like the people involved with 1MDB who also change stories from time to time. By the way, how could Sirul know Altantunya was not pregnant? Did she come back to confess to him one night in Sydney?

Bumiputhran: How did Sirul state with such certainty that the "certain woman" was not pregnant when at the trial, her pregnancy was accepted without dispute.

One is made to believe that these series of videos are planned recordings that could have been arranged by the Malaysian-appointed "special handlers" as a prelude to the impending claim of RM100 million by Altantuya' father Shaariibuu.

Secondly, this could be the outcome of the demand of A$17 million not only to seal mouths but to assist the real murderers escape the gallows.

SusahKes: You and your comrade in murder, did a pregnancy test on her, before you blew her to bits? Wow, didn't know you had the luxury of time, and the presence of mind.

By the way, even a two-month-old pregnancy is still a pregnancy. Just because it is not as physically evident as a full-term one, doesn't make it any less pregnant.

But since you are in a revelatory mood, why don't you tell us, what was the motive of your deed? You and your partner, of all people, should tell us. You guys are just a few steps away from meeting the Divine Judge. Doesn't it make you shudder even one bit?

Bluemountains: Australia must never grant a protection visa to a convicted murderer. Such a person can be a risk to the Australian public if allowed to go free. The only way for him to be given the protection visa is for him to exculpate himself by naming the person who ordered him to kill Altantuya.

Kalvin Rekhraj: Sirul only met 'that woman' for a few hours that night. How could he have concluded whether or not she was pregnant? It is agreeable that the pregnancy is questionable as it was just a claim.

And it will remain a claim because these two policemen, who had taken the oath to serve and protect, blew up "that woman" into pieces.

Whoever anonymously released these videos should also upload the reason for these two to murder someone they had just met, using army grade explosives. And how did they get a hold of it? Until these questions are answered, videos like these will continue to be labelled as a political ploy for "some people in power".

KL39: Whether she was carrying a baby or not, it's still very cruel to murder a person in such a manner. Everyone knows what is happening here. The person with motive is still at large and no further action from the authorities say it all.

Anonymous_1421806811: Wonder if he is trying to get some sympathy from that "someone". Still he refuses to state the motive for the killing. Unless he makes a video confession of why he got himself involved in such a gruesome murder, his half-baked video speeches are of no interest to anyone.

Anonymous #40538199: How much can you trust a murderer who claims that he did it following instructions and yet even with his life at stake, refuses to reveal the source of the instruction and therefore preventing justice from being upheld.

No point to pretend to be pious. There should be no clemency without signs of repentance.

Ghostwhowalks: Sirul, just tell us your motive to kill Altantuya. Period.
