(Editor’s note: The article has been rectified to state that the letter from Altantuya’s family supports Azilah’s death sentence be commuted and not that the family had forgiven him as initially reported. The error is regretted.)

Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu’s family supports swapping the death sentence with jail time for her killer Azilah Hadri.

The Federal Court this morning was informed of this during the hearing of the former police commando's bid to swap his death sentence with life imprisonment over the murder that occurred 18 years ago.
