Giving his testimony as the 30th witness in the murder trial of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu was 48-year Wong Kong Yong, a document examiner with the Chemistry Department in Petaling Jaya. He said that the note found in accused Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri’s bag on 12 November 2006 was written by political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda.

In the note were details such as the name of Abdul Razak’s father, Datuk Abdullah Malim Baginda, his home address in Damansara Heights and the hotel room number where Altantuya stayed before her death. Wong found 18 areas of similarities when he compared the handwriting on the note with samples taken from Abdul Razak and two of his notebooks that were seized from his office.

Thus, Wong told the court that he believed that the notes found in Azilah’s office were written by Abdul Razak.

Chief Inspector Ahmad Abu Bakar, aged 35, told the court that he was instructed by DSP Gan Tack Guan to obtain samples of Abdul Razak’s handwriting in the Bukit Aman police headquarters on 14 and 15 November 2006 for analysis purposes. All four handwritten documents were then submitted to the Chemistry Department by investigating officer ASP Tonny Lunggan on 17 November 2006.

Lunggan also sent three more sets of documents on 26 June 2007 to the department, including three Hotel Malaya sheets, a plain sheet of paper, a Hotel Malaya envelope, a handwritten sheet of paper, and a Hotel Malaya letterhead with handwriting. These were believed to have been written by murder victim Altantuya.

The trial continues today.

A 35-year-old chef from Kepong has been detained by police at the Sentul district police headquarters on Tuesday night. He is a colleague of the mother who was stabbed to death together with another female housemate in Taman Usahawan, Kepong.

The man will be detained until 2 October 2007.

The 36-year-old mother, Ang Chin Ping, was an accounts clerk in a Chinese restaurant where the chef worked. He is believed to have information on Ang’s location on the day of her murder between midnight and 9am.

Ang’s housemate, 32-year-old Wong Tan Yong was found dead in another room of the flat they were staying in.

The funeral rites at Jinjang Selatan yesterday were attended by Ang’s parents, including mother Phoon Khuan Tai, aged 61. Ang was the second of their four children. Ang’s two children, who witnessed her death were also present.

Ang’s father, 72-year-old Ang Thean Poh said that Ang’s bag containing her identity card, mobile phone and cash were stolen about a month ago.

Wong’s body was finally claimed by her relatives from the Kuala Lumpur Hospital mortuary yesterday.

Police are still looking for two other Nigerians who are housemates with the first two Nigerian men who were arrested earlier.
