Diplomat lands in NZ to face court

News media at Kuala Lumpur International Airport told Stuff that Muhammad Rizalman bin Ismail went through a “special entrance” onto his flight.

Rizalman was arrested on May 10, and charged by Wellington police with burglary and assault with intent to rape relating to an alleged attack on Tania Billingsley, 22, in the Wellington suburb of Brooklyn.

However, he was able to leave New Zealand on May 22 after Malaysia refused to waive his right to invoke diplomatic immunity.
