MAHB has nothing to do with leaked CCTV footage of Kim Chol’s murder — Witness
SHAH ALAM: A Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) employee told the High Court yesterday that the leak of a video allegedly showing the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s half-brother, Kim Chol or Kim Jong-nam at the KL International Airport 2 (klia), has nothing to do with the airport operating company.
MAHB security assistant G.Shankar, 31, said the company was not responsible for leaking the airport’s close circuit television (CCTV) camera footage released by Japanese broadcaster Fuji TV in Japan a few days after the assasination.
Shankar, who was instructed by investigating officer ASP Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz to copy the CCTV footage into a digital video disc (DVD), said police investigation had revealed that the footage (released by Fuji TV) was not from his department.
In reply to lawyer Gooi Soon Seng representing Siti Aisyah, one of the accused from Indonesia, during cross-examination, Shankar said the police had recorded statements from all personnel in his department, himself included, but none of them was charged in regard to the incident.
“I saw the viral video on Facebook... police have confirmed that the video was not from MAHB,” said the man who has been working with MAHB over the past 12 years.
Shankar said he agreed with Gooi’s suggestion that there was a leak, but disagreed that it was from his folder or DVD because the access to the folder was protected by a password known only to him. - Bernama
