35-year-old Dr Noor Azleen Ayob collected DNA samples from murder victim Altantuya Shaariibuu’s mother in March 2007, but could not confirm if the fast-track analysis card exhibited in court was the same one that she had used to store four blood droplets from her.

She went to Ulanbator, Mongolia, on 13 March 2007 with DSP Gan Tack Guan to obtain the blood samples from Altansetseg Sanjaa. However, Dr Noor Azleen did not make any markings on the card and thus could not identify the card now. Later, she said she recognized the card based on the pattern of the stains and the envelope in which the card was stored.

On 10 November 2006, Dr Noor Azleen also collected blood samples from Altantuya’s father, Setev Shaariibuu, at Eastin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

Aswami Fadillah Mohd Ariffin of CyberSecurity’s Malaysia Digital Forensic Department told the court yesterday that he had analysed the telephone calls made between Abdul Razak Baginda, Azilah, Sirul, Azilah’s former girlfriend Lance Corporal Rohaniza Roslan, private investigators P. Balasubramaniam and Suras Kumar, DSP Musa Mohd Safri and Altantuya.

Based on the logs of the telecommunications providers, he said he was not sure if the records were accurate and that it was possible for their computer systems to be tampered with.

Hearing continues today.

Commercial Crimes Investigation director Datuk Ramli Yusoff, who was a former Sabah police commissioner, was charged in court yesterday for abusing his powers by using a police Cessna Caravan plane to perform a survey on two plots of land at Ulu Tengku, Lahad Datu on 15 June 2007 at 7:50am.

The 55-year-old third-highest ranking police officer was accused of the offence committed at the Tanjung Aru Police Air Wing base together with two company partners of Syarikat Kinsajaya Sdn Bhd. The two directors, former Sabah Fifth Brigade Commander Brig Jen (Rtd) Datuk Muhamad Yasin and businessman Khalid Mohamad, were also charged under the Section 16 (1) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1997.

Ramli pleaded not guilty to this charge, which is the fourth one since he was charged with corruption on 1 November 2007.

The judge has granted bail of RM10,000 in one surety and fixed his case for hearing from 18 to 22 February 2008.

Ramli faces jail time between 14 days and 20 years and a minimum fine of RM10,000, or both.

Meanwhile, a group of villagers were protesting outside of the court claiming that a 640 hectare of land which they have been living on for more than 50 years have been taken away by Ramli.
