The Shah Alam High Court had freed by acquitting political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda of abetting the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Justice Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin today ruled that the prosecution has failed to prove a case against Abdul Razak. Judge Datuk Mohd Zaki found there was no prima facie case for Abdul Razak to answer his charge and therefore he is acquitted and discharged.
