Kuala Lumpur, Mar.23 (ANI): The Malaysian High Court has now allowed three items to be submitted as DNA evidence in the Anwar Ibrahim sodomy trial.
Anwar, 63, is charged with sodomising his former personal assistant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, on June 26, 2008.
Earlier, the court had ruled that three items- toothbrush, towel and a mineral water bottle taken from Anwar's lockup could not be submitted as evidence as they had been obtained via unfair means.
The court has now reversed its decision. Justice Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah said three items could be tendered as DNA evidence.
However, he dismissed an application compelling Anwar to submit his DNA sample for profiling.
He ruled allowing the submission of three things in light of the investigating and arresting officers' evidence, the arrest was indeed lawful.
"Detention of the accused can no longer be said to be done illegally. The court allows these items to be tendered as evidence," The Star qouted him, as saying.
Following the decision, Solicitor-General Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden asked the court to allow him to call chemist Nor Aidora Saedon and head of police forensic lab in Cheras Supt Hamidon Adnan, to tender their evidence in the court. (ANI)
