Teoh Beng Hock to be exhumed Nov 21 for 2nd post mortem (Update)
SHAH ALAM: The Coroner’s Court ordered Teoh Beng Hock’s body to be exhumed on Nov 21 and the second post mortem to be conducted the next day at Sungai Buloh Hospital.
Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas also ordered that the second post-mortem be handled by the Head of Pathology, Sungai Buloh Hospital, Dr Shahidan Md Noor and assisted by Dr K. Saravanan in taking the photos, in the presence of four forensic experts, at the Sungai Buloh Hospital.
"The task of exhuming the body will be undertaken by the Sungai Buloh Hospital," he said Tuesday.
The four forensic experts were Dr Khairul Azman Ibrahim, Dr Prashant Naresh Samberkar, Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand of Thailand and another expert to be appointed by the Malaysian AntiCorruption Commission (MACC).
Meanwhile, lawyer Datuk Abdul Razak Musa, representing the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), said the MACC would ensure that the foreign expert appointed could attend the second postmortem.
He also applied to the court to issue a written order in English to enable the MACC to inform their experts on the order.
Meanwhile Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, who is holding a watching brief for Teoh's family, told the court that the police would be there to ensure whatever was required would be done.
Teoh was found dead on the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam, here on July 16 after being questioned by Selangor branch of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) overnight.
The Selangor MACC office is on the 14th floor of the same building. The family applied to have Teoh's remains exhumed following Dr Pornthip's testimony in the inquest into his death that there was an 80 percent probability that Beng Hock was tortured and strangled.
Dr Khairul Azman Ibrahim and Dr Prashant, who are government pathologists and had conducted the first postmortem, had told the inquest that it was possible Beng Hock, an aide to a Selangor state executive councillor, had committed suicide.
