Sodomy trial II: HKL pathologist says Mohd Saiful was sodomised

KUALA LUMPUR: A Hospital Kuala Lumpur forensic pathologist told the High Court here that Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan was sodomised.

However, Dr Siew Sheue Feng said there was no clinical findings to support the conclusion.

He said the lack of resistance and the use of lubricants could be the reason why there was no clinical finding of anal penetration on Mohd Saiful during examination on June 28, 2008, at the hospital.

However, he said swab samples taken around Mohd Saiful's anal area showed evidence of seminal fluid.

Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, 63, had claimed trial to sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful, 25, at Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara, between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.

Dr Siew also told the court that Mohd Saiful had told him that he was sodomised without the use of condoms.

Later, another HKL doctor Dr Khairul Nizam Hassan read out his medical examination, saying that he found four scars on Mohd Saiful's back.

He also said swabs taken of Mohd Saiful had traces of semen.

The trial has been postponed to Oct 25.
