Mystery DNA on Teoh belonged to another dead man

By Debra Chong - The Malaysian Insider

SHAH ALAM, Oct 2 — A government pathologist identified this morning one of the DNA profiles found on Teoh Beng Hock’s coat and belt as belonging to another man who had been autopsied in the same hospital.

Dr Seah Lay Hong told the coroner’s court investigating Teoh’s death that it was possible the DNA could have been picked up if the autopsy table was not properly sterilised.

She said that the other DNA profile found on Teoh was still unknown. The identified profile belonged to M. Gopala, who was the victim of a car accident.

Gopala’s DNA profile was found on Teoh’s blazer.

The 30-year-old political secretary to state executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah was mysteriously found dead on a 5th-floor landing outside the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) Selangor office at Plaza Masalam here on July 16, after being questioned overnight into claims his boss abused state money.

His family and employer claim foul play was involved.
