PETALING JAYA: While continuing to insist that he did not kill Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu, ex-police commando Sirul Azhar Umar admitted to taking money for his silence.

“I didn’t do murder (sic). But yes, I am involved,” he said in an interview with Al Jazeera’s 101 East programme, while admitting that he had taken Altantuya from the house of a former political analyst on that fateful night in 2006.
