Malaysian bodyguard, Sirul Azhar Umar, who was sentenced to hanging in 2009, but is being held in detention in Australia, is likely to be returned home for a fair trial.

Umar was sentenced to death for murdering pregnant 28-year-old, Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006.

Former Malaysian police commando, Anwar Ibrahim, says he wants Umar to be returned to Malaysia for a new trial following Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s political comeback to win the country's elections last month.
