KUALA LUMPUR: Raja Muda Azzimudie Kiram, who led the armed Sulu intrusion
into Kampung Tanduo in Lahad Datu, Sabah, is dead.
Philippines intelligence
sources confirmed that Azzimudie, 74, died of cardiac arrest in Tawi Tawi
province in southern Philippines on Tuesday.
Azzimudie died at his home
at Tubig Indangan village in the town of Simunul in Tawi-Tawi province.
Azzimudie or Agbimuddin,
the younger brother of the late Jamalul Kiram, who was the self-styled Sulu
Sultan Jamalul Kiram, led a group of armed men to invade Tanduo in February
2013.
He disappeared without a
trace after he "fled'' Lahad Datu on March 11 as Malaysian security forces
recaptured Kampung Tanduo, Sabah in a massive offensive.
A total of 73 intruders
were killed (59 bodies have been recovered) in the nearly eight-week armed
showdown with Malaysian security forces.
Malaysian police have
arrested 184 people and charged 31 with various criminal offences, including
waging war against the Agong. Their cases are ongoing in court.
Azzimudie was a former
assistant district officer of Kudat, Sabah in the early 1970s.
