Altantuya Murder Trial Day27 -Jul 30 07

): The court hearing the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial will decide on Wednesday (Aug 1) whether to admit or disallow the statement purportedly uttered by Cpl Sirul Azhar Umar to the police, when he led them to the crime scene. The crux of the issue is whether Sirul's statement, "I can show the place where the woman was blown up", coupled with his conduct of pointing to the spot, and is admissible under Section 8 of the Evidence Act. The question before the court is also whether Sirul's statement and his subsequent conduct of pointing to the spot were separate, unconnected things or were part of one. Lawyers for both the defence and the prosecution submitted at length on the issue this morning before the proceedings were adjourned to Wednesday. The submissions of both parties centred around the following: * Section 8 (Evidence Act) - on motive, preparation and previous or subsequent conduct; and * Section 27 (Evidence Act) - on how much information received from accused may be proved.
