Saiful grilled, doc says sodomy with no injuries possible
(Free Malaysia Today) – Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan once again found himself in the “hot seat” when he was grilled by Anwar Ibrahim’s lead counsel Karpal Singh, who accused the former of spinning tales.
The star witness, who claims to have been sodomised by Anwar, was recalled by the defence despite having finished with his testimony on Monday.
Zeroing on the complainant, Karpal tells Saiful that the alleged sodomy incident on June 26, 2008, which purportedly took place at the Desa Condominium here, did not happen.
Saiful disagreed, insisting that it did take place.
Karpal then told the witness that Anwar was in a different unit at the time, Unit 11-5-2.
Saiful replied: “No, Anwar was in 11-5-1.”
This prompted Karpal to shoot back, “You are lying”.
The witness denied that he was making a fraudulent claim and reiterated that the opposition leader was in Unit 11-5-1.
Karpal then informed the court that the defence has submitted its notice of alibi to show that Anwar was not at the scene of the crime.
Following a request by the defence, Judge Mohd Zabidin Diah agreed for the rest of the proceedings to be held in camera.
