Anwar’s sodomy trial decision on May 16

(Bernama) – The High Court here set May 16 to deliver its decision whether Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be called to enter his defence or acquitted over his sodomy charge.

Justice Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah made the decision here today at the end of the prosecution’s case.

Yesterday, the prosecution told the High Court the DNA profile of “male Y” found in the anus of complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan belonged to Anwar.

The 63-year-old opposition leader is charged with sodomising his former aide, Mohd Saiful, 25, at the Desa Damansara Condominium in Bukit Damansara between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.
