Sodomy II: Wrong conclusion in chemist’s report, DNA expert testifies

By Reena Raj, The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: The report by chemist Nor Aidora Saedon wrongly concluded that it was a single profile DNA found on a towel she examined, Australian DNA expert Dr Brian McDonald told the sodomy trial of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim here.

The fourth defence witness, who resumed his expert evidence Monday, said Nor Aidora and another chemist, Dr Seah Lay Hong, had contradicted the Chemistry Department guidelines as they did not report that there was a mixed profile DNA.

Dr Seah examined all the swabs taken from complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan and Nor Aidora tested a towel, toothbrush and mineral water bottle obtained when Anwar was detained.

Anwar has claimed trial to sodomising Mohd Saiful at a condominium in Bukit Damansara here on June 26, 2008.
