It is believed that the man was a pimp and had been taking earnings from the four women who were allegedly selling sexual services. The house where they lived in was rented by the male suspect and the women had valid social visit passes. They have been living with him for a month.

Police found condoms in a car near the house.

The prosecution team in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial had stated on 18 June 2007 that it would show evidence that a pair of blood-stained slippers was found in accused Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar’s jeep and that a DNA test showed that the blood was Altantuya’s.

In the High Court yesterday, Special Action Squad (UTK) operative Sergeant Rosli Ibrahim told the court that he did not see the pair of slippers during the two times that he helped Azhar start the jeep while the latter was on assignment in Pakistan. Instead, he said he only saw newspapers stacked neatly inside.

Lawyer Ahmad Zaidi Zainal, counsel for Azhar, had shown 36-year-old Rosli several pictures of the slippers during cross-examination on Day 38 of the murder trial. The pictures depicted a pair of white open-toed men’s slippers on top of the newspapers.

When re-examined by Deputy Public Prosector Tun Abd Majid Tun Hamzah, Rosli said the photographs showed that the jeep was in a more messy condition than the last time he saw it on 6 November 2006. He remembered that the steering lock was in a different position, the front seats were upright, and there was no mineral water bottle.

Rosli then told counsel Ahmad Zaidi Zainal that Azhar had left the keys to his jeep in their Bukit Aman office and had asked Rosli to help run the engine. Rosli would start the engine and let it run for 30 minutes while he went to the canteen. He stated that DSP Khairi Khairuddin asked for the keys earlier that month, which he returned on 6 November 2006.

Chief Inspector Koh Fei Cheow testified in court that he did not see Assistant Superintendent Zulkarnain Samsudin threaten, promise or induce Azhar during interrogation, which Koh assisted in.

47-year-old Sergeant S. Nagendraroo from the city police logistics unit said he did not find any explosives, weapons or bullets in Azhar’s Kota Damansara house when the bomb disposal team was there on 7 November 2006.

Both Koh and Nagendraroo were testifying in the trial-within-a-trial to determine if Azhar’s alleged statement leading to the discovery of Altantuya’s jewellery at his apartment should be included as evidence in court.

The trial continues today.

A beautician and her housemate were sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in their four-storey shoplot flat in Taman Usahawan, Kepong, yesterday between midnight and 9am.

36-year-old Ang Chin Ping was dragged out from her bedroom by a man. Her 4-year-old daughter and 6-year-old brother hid inside a room during the incident. When Ang’s younger sister turned up at the flat at 10:30am, the boy came out and reported to her.

Ang was found lying naked in the hall. 32-year-old Wong Tan Yong, a direct sales agent, was also found lying face down in another room.

It is believed that two Nigerian students, who lived two floors below the victims’ flat, had visited them several times since the victims moved in two months ago. Neighbours reportedly heard some arugments around midnight.

Police recovered a blood-stained knife in the flat, and have arrested the two students at 3:30pm and two Indonesian women who visited them that day. The suspects were found with the victims’ identity cards and mobile phones.

It is learnt that Ang’s husband committed suicide some months ago due to depression. The two children are now with Ang’s relatives.
