TL;DR Summary

Sirul Azhar Umar, a former Malaysian policeman convicted of the murder of a Mongolian translator in 2006, claims that he was paid to remain silent about the case. Sirul, who was recently released from an Australian detention center, alleges that he received over $200,000 to record a video absolving former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak of any involvement in the murder. He also asserts that evidence against him was planted and denies any knowledge of the victim's belongings found in his possession. Sirul fears for his safety if he is extradited back to Malaysia and wants to build a life in Australia with his son.
