Please be aware that in this post, the death or the investigations have nothing to do with me, and I'm just giving what I had observed, in the Forensic views. Other than that, I have no slightest interest on other than forensic aspect.
Following the inquest, the first expert witness to be call upon the coroner, is a Chemist with the Jabatan Kimia Malaysia. What she testify in court is that, where the IO (Investigating Officer) given orders to her, and to test for specific drugs present in the samples she received. The very last time I went to mock courts, forensic students that do toxicology are end up being screwed on for only testing the drugs specify by IO or any other superior, and not doing an all-rounded test. I know its time wasting, and money wasting (for some machine), but in a case that involves a death of a person, shouldn't we be more vigilant on all the test?
The deceased here, had either fell off, jumped off, pushed off (I do not know the cause of death, so don't expect that I'll say anything about how the person died), from a high-rise building, had been wandering on his own in a government secure building in the wee hours, without any supervision, even though he is not arrested, and was just brought in to be interviewed, which that the agency had violated normal interview hours. I think Malaysia just need some Health and Safety regulations, and some enforcement to enforce this rule.
From the crime scene photos, where you and me can easily search for them using Google and the deceased name, you will see at least one Forensik polis wandering around the body, with not much protection suit on him (Forensik polis), well, I'm not surprise if the police found unknown hair and fibres on or near the deceased which will give a positive match to the hair and fibres of the police. The only time I saw investigators wore protective suit (coveralls) are when the coroner inquest team when back to the scene, which I do not have any idea why they wanted to do so after the cordon had been lifted.
More surprising stories, after the inquest started, the inquest team went for a site visit, where one of the lawyer found blood-stain like droplets in a staircase, in between the floors of the agency, which is totally ignored by the investigators on day 1 the scene was cordon off, and had not been swabbed nor photographed nor did anything else for at least a week. Even though test later confimed it is not bloodstain, but a big drop like that, its either the investigators did not do a thorough search of the scene, and the police forensics just need to re-do their crime scene course. Any 400-700nm white crime-lite or just a flash light, will show something.
Right, i'll stop here for now, will continue blogging about this case as it goes on, and i'll see anymore forensic aspect i would like to touch on.
Anybody who is interested in watching the court drama, can go here!
Please be aware that it is nothing similar to the Hong Kong court drama we used to watch..
