KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 — Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojasunand claimed that she was followed to the Nirvana Memorial Park in Semenyih yesterday when she went for the exhumation of Teoh Beng Hock's body.
Teoh family lawyer Gobind Singh Deo revealed this today, saying that police had responded swiftly to provide security for the renowned pathologist whose testimony had led to the coroner's court ordering a second autopsy.
"To those who followed her, please come forward. Tell us who you are and what you want. Don't be cowards," Gobind told reporters at the Sungai Buloh Hospital where Dr Pornthip was observing the second Teoh post-mortem.
She has been hired by the Selangor government to observe the autopsy for the political aide who died in mysterious circumstances outside the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) Selangor office on July 16.
Sungai Buloh Hospital chief pathologist Dr Shahidan Md Noor is conducting the autopsy which will also be observed by MACC expert Dr Peter Vanezis from the United Kingdom. The pathologists who carried out the first post-mortem are also observing today's procedure which began at noon.
The two pathologists — Dr Khairul Aznam and Dr Prashant Samberker — had testified during the inquest into Teoh's death that he died as a result of suicide. Dr Pornthip said it was 80 per cent homicide, paving the way for the second autopsy.
The autopsy is expected to take about five hours.
