PETALING JAYA (Jan 3, 2011): All eyes will be on Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas on Wednesday as he determines what caused the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock whose body was found on a fifth-floor landing of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam on July 16, 2009.

It will bring to a close the 17-month inquest which started on July 29 the same year and involved testimony from 37 witnesses.

During the inquest, two key theories were thrashed out by the two parties that have been squaring off in the ring – the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Teoh’s family.

The MACC argued that Teoh committed suicide to cover up his boss’s alleged corruption, a point the MACC fought hard to prove throughout the inquest.
