What’s up his sleeves?

What was Abdul Razak Baginda’s game plan in revealing everything in his bail application?

He has now admitted of an affair with the dead Mongolian beauty. Admitted of paying her money. Admitted that she was a nuisance. Admitted that he enlisted the help of some cops to make the problem disappear. Admitted that one of the cops had told him that the problem was solved.

If this is not abetting to the murder, what is? You see, if he had played a direct role in the killing of Altantuya Shaariibuu, he would have been charged with the murder of the 28-year-old Mongolian.

The reason he was charged with abetting was because he was not there to literally pull the trigger. His admission now makes it clear that he had indeed asked the two cops to help him solve the problem.

Now with his admissions, he could have just signed his death warrant. Unless his lawyer knows something which we don’t.

Let’s keep our eyes open now to his appeal against his bail application, or the trial proper in March 2008.
