Corporal Sim Gek Huang, aged 35, was a supervisor of the computerised Police Reporting System when Assistant Superintendent Zulkarnain Samsudin called her on 7 November 2006 around 6pm to amend a police report lodged earlier that day. She was taking the witness stand in the murder trial of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

Zulkarnain submitted a support helpdesk form to make the following amendments:

• “Shamsuddin” was changed to “Samsudin” (Zulkarnain’s last name)
• amend “suspect’s name” to “suspect Sirul Azhar bin Haji Umar”
• “‘the said person” was changed to “suspect”
• add the word “something” after the word “revelation”
• amend the word “regarding” to “in connection with”
• Zulkarnain’s birthdate, which was incorrectly stored as 5 October 2073

However, Sim noted that Zulkarnain did not explain the reason for the changes, which was normally required. She also told the court that only the amended report can be displayed while the original was no longer available.

Constable Mazlinwaheeda Mansor, aged 23, from the Bukit Aman IT division said that she received a phone call from Zulkarnain on 13 December 2006 at 1am requested to amend the address of accused Corporal Sirul Azhar’s Kota Damansara apartment address from “5-2-4” to “5-3-7”. The wrong address was recorded in a police report made on 7 November 2006 after police searched the unit.

Chief Inspector Irwansyah Abdul Basir, aged 32 and officer-in-charge of Tun H.S. Lee police station and Seargent Major Latif Awang, aged 52 and officer-in-charge of Kota Damansara police station, both said that they would not know of any amendments to police reports under their jurisdictions if they were not informed. The latter witness said that he was told by one of his officers that the apartment number in Zulkarnain’s report was amended on 7 November 2006 at 6:30pm.

Two more Nigerian men are wanted by the police to aid in investigations on the murder of two women in Taman Usahawan, Kepong.

The two women, one of whom was a mother of two young children, were believed to be students and housemates of two Nigerian men who were arrested at a nearby unit of the shoplot on Monday. These men are students at private colleges in Jalan Masjid India and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Police will remand them until 30 September 2007.

Beautician Ang Chin Ping, aged 36, was found laying naked in the hall, while her housemate, Wong Tan Yong, aged 32, a direct-sales agent was found lying face down in another room. Ang’s 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter had witnessed the murders.

The suspects had told the children to go into their room where they were believed to have spent at least two hours with the bodies.

A foot-long blood-stained knife was found in the kitchen sink of the victims’ unit and post-mortem results showed that Wong was not sexually assaulted before she was murdered.

Ang’s 51-year-old mother Pan Khuan Dai, father Ang Thean Poh and uncle Ang Yew Weng were at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital yesterday to claim Ang’s body.

Hospital child psychiatrist Dr Toh Chin Lee will assess the mental and emotional health of the children while they remain under the police child protection unit. The Welfare Department would give RM250 to each child per month as the children now had no parents.

Their father had jumped to his death a few months ago.
