（马六甲）赵明福家属週日（10月25日）正式委託律师哥宾星向验尸庭申请开棺验尸的庭令，同时要求由泰国著名法医普緹进行验尸工作。家属希望有关申请能在验尸庭於11月9日续审时完成。
苏淑慧也同意验尸
赵家、苏家及明福的妻子苏淑慧都同意开棺验尸。
赵家週日在哥宾星及行动党国会领袖林吉祥的陪同下，在马六甲亚罗牙也住家召开新闻发佈会，作出申请开棺验尸的宣佈。
哥宾星指出，普緹於上週在验尸庭內，透过第一次验尸报告的照片所作出的惊人发现，指出明福有颈部被勒的跡象，臀部也有令人怀疑的伤痕，因此，在与家属商量后，一致决定开棺验尸。
他说，副检察司陈福泉指出，普緹因为没有参与第一次的验尸工作，她的供证不能被验尸庭接受。
“虽然如此，普緹有数次类似的经验，包括尸体已被火化，但还是根据所有的证据找出真相，因此我们相信普緹能够为明福的死因找出真相。”
哥宾星10月26日入稟法庭
他表示，將援引刑事调查法典第335条文，申请开棺验尸庭令，预计週一（10月26日）（週一）入稟法庭，週三或四过堂，再由法庭择日聆听。
他指出，申请开棺验尸应该由反贪委员会或总检察署处理，但是，至今没有看到当局的任何行动，总检察长反而还將此决定交由家属处理。
“总检察署是负责找出明福坠楼真相的机构，他们本应更加关注开棺验尸。”
林吉祥：真相必须大白
此外，林吉祥指出，普緹的供证指明福有80%是他杀，进而引起社会公眾的关注，真相必须大白，涉案者必须受到对付。
他认为，家属决定开棺验尸是正確的。
赵丽兰：加强泰法医论点
家人一致决定开棺验尸
“我们全家人详细討论后，一致决定开棺验尸。我们决心要找出真相，相信泰国法医菩緹会为哥哥討回公道。”
赵明福的妹妹赵丽兰週日在哥宾星及林吉祥的陪同下，在亚罗牙也住家召开新闻发佈会时，如是表示。
她说，赵家相信普緹在验尸庭上所说的是真相，一致决定开棺验尸，是为了加强普緹的论点。
“我们相信普緹的专业，因为就如她本身所说的，为死者说话，是她的职责。”
唯一办法让真相大白
她强调，如果可以，家属也不愿意开棺验尸，但目前只剩下这个办法才能让真相大白。
询及家属为何当初拒绝第二次验尸，她指出，因为当时一切发生得太仓促，家人无法做出决定。
讲述哥哥遭遇哽咽
话到如此，赵丽兰已哽咽，眼睛泛红，讲起哥哥的遭遇，她忍不住流泪。
明福的母亲张秀花也哭红著眼睛表示，上庭所看到的相片，让她对明福感到痛心。
“他们为甚么要用这样残忍的手段？
那些人不是人。”
明福父亲赵亮辉指出，希望这次开棺能够为儿子查出真相，为孩子討回公道。

Teoh's family to request for exhumation and second autopsy
By ALLISON LAI
MALACCA: Teoh Beng Hock’s family will request for his body to be exhumed, enabling a second autopsy to be carried out by Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand.
Gobind Singh Deo, lawyer for Teoh’s family said an application for the exhumation and second autopsy would most likely be filed in court on Monday.
“The family is very concerned,” he told a press conference at Teoh’s family home in Alor Gajah on Sunday.
“They want to find out exactly what happened to Teoh.”
Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand, had last week, told the inquest into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock that there was an 80% probability his death was a homicide.
She said it was only a 20% probability that Teoh had committed suicide.
Dr Pornthip also testified that the marks on Teoh's neck looked like he had been manually strangled.
The Selangor government had invited Dr Pornthip, the director-general of Thailand's Ministry of Justices Central Institute of Forensic Science, to give her expert opinion.
Lee Lan, 29, Teoh's younger sister and the family spokesperson said on Sunday that they had agreed to the exhumation following discussions with their legal counsel.
She said the family would also carry out a traditional Chinese ritual as a sign of respect and to appease Teoh’s soul before the body is exhumed.
She said the family was initially uneasy about exhuming her brother’s body.
“Actually, if it is possible, we don’t wish to do this but in this case, we are determined to find out the truth,” she said, adding that the family decided to give the go ahead to their lawyer Gobind Singh Deo to file the necessary court papers.
Besides the legal aspects, she said her family had also discussed the need to carry out the pre-exhumation rituals according to Chinese customs and beliefs.
“We (the family) will attend the exhumation as we have to take part in the ritual ceremony prior to it,” she said.
According to traditional Chinese beliefs, the soul of a departed is said to come back, sometimes, and visit the family either through dreams or as an apparition.
Teoh’s family claimed that he had appeared to several relatives in their dreams on the day after rituals to mark the 7th and 49th day of his death.

肛门伤势像被物体插入‧泰法医：赵明福80%遭他杀
（雪兰莪‧沙亚南）泰国著名法医普緹提呈给验尸庭的报告揭露，赵明福在坠楼前已经受伤。
她说，她同意两名政府医院的法医，即巴拉斯汉与凯鲁阿兹曼指赵明福身上的一些伤势与从高楼坠下的伤势不吻合；换句话说，赵明福在坠楼身亡前已受伤。
普緹在一封誌期2009年9月29日的公函中指出，大马法医在7月16日傍晚6时40分抵达案发现场，並发现赵明福的尸体在晚上7时15分已开始僵硬。
“由此推断，赵明福的死亡时间应是在8至12小时前，即7月16日早上6时至8时期间。”
遭他杀的可能性达80%
因此，泰国法医普緹指出，由於能够在赵明福身上找到坠楼前就已出现的伤势，她因此断定赵明福有80%的可能性是遭到他杀，而自杀的机率只有20%。
普緹的推论也与本地两名法医凯鲁阿兹曼及巴拉斯汉的假设大相俓庭，同样作为证人的凯鲁阿兹曼及巴拉斯汉皆认为，赵明福极有可能是死於自杀。
普緹是“赵明福验尸案”第30名证人，她今日（週三，10月21日）在雪州政府代表律师马力英迪亚的引导下供证说，上述两名法医指赵明福是坠楼死，她也赞同这个说法。
不过，她认为，虽然是坠楼死，但赵明福在坠楼前就已受伤，因此他极有可能是遭到他杀。
普緹表示，赵明福肛门处的伤势不像是坠楼所致，而是遭到像是木棒的物体插入，在她过去的经验中，她不曾看过坠楼个案会出现如此的伤势。
她指出，赵明福的大腿后侧也出现疑似遭人以木棒打伤的痕跡。
她表示，她也推断赵明福在坠楼时，可能已失去意识，因为她通过伤势照片观察到赵明福的颈部有被勒伤的痕跡、没有防护性伤痕及某些部位在坠楼前就已受伤。
她指出，赵明福在坠地时仍活著，但由於失去意识，导致他脚部著地后，身体就直接向下倾倒重创胸部，这也是赵明福肋骨严重骨折的原因。
对於赵明福的死因，普緹有以下结论：

对於赵明福的死因，普緹有以下结论：
赵明福左鞋鞋底磨损的痕跡可能是因拖曳而造成；
赵明福肛门的伤势与从高楼坠下的伤势不吻合，其肛门的伤势更像被物体插入；
虽然大马法医认为赵明福在坠楼时脚先著地，但她认为赵明福出现骨折的足踝有被挫伤的痕跡；
由於图片无法有完美的分辨率，她不能排除赵明福颈部有被勒伤的痕跡。

Teoh inquest: 80pc chance of homicide, says Thai expert
SHAH ALAM: There is an 80% chance that the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock was caused by homicide, the coroner’s court was told Wednesday.
Based on her examination of the autopsy reports and pictures of the site, Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand said she believed there is only a 20% chance that Teoh had committed suicide.
Testifying at the inquest into Teoh’s death, Dr Pornthip said that not all injuries on the body were consistent with a fall from a height.
She said that marks around his neck could mean that he was strangled, while the injury to his anus was caused by penetration with an object before his fall.
His skull fracture was not typical of an injury from a fall but was more compatible with blunt force being applied directly to the skull, she said.
She said that Teoh was probably alive when he hit the ground but may have been unconscious before the fall.
Dr Pornthip told court she has conducted more than 10,000 autopsies, of which about 100 dealt with fatal falls from a high place.
She put the time of death at between 6am and 8am, July 16.
The renowned and flamboyant Dr Pornthip is the director and co-founder of the Thai Justice Ministry’s Central Institute of Forensic Science.
She is well-known for her prowess in cracking open complicated homicide cases and is a celebrity of sorts in her homeland.
She is the author of Investigation of Corpses which sold 100,000 copies in Thailand, and also led a group of international forensic scientists in 2004 to identify the remains of the Asian tsunami victims.
Her life and work was narrated in a National Geographic documentary entitled Crime Scene Bangkok in 2004.

Evaluation put off because hospital refused witness
KUALA LUMPUR: The scheduled psychiatric evaluation of Teoh Beng Hock’s family was postponed because the hospital refused to allow a witness to accompany them during the interviews.
Lawyer and Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng, who represented the Teohs said the family wanted to know why they were refused a witness during the evaluation at the Selayang hospital yesterday.
He added that Teoh’s family lawyer at the on-going inquest, Gobind Singh Deo, had informed the family that the coroner had imposed two conditions before the interview; each interviewee can be accompanied by a family member or a lawyer.
“We were told that the interviewees had to be isolated and only the doctors were allowed,” Lim told reporters after leaving the hospital complex.
The family had requested for a copy of the interview transcript. However, their request was denied by the hospital along with their request for a copy of the audio recordings of the interview.
“We are asking all this to ensure transparency during the meeting with the three doctors,” he added.
Teoh’s sister, Lee Lan, was disappointed with the outcome of the sheduled evaluation, which involved Teoh’s wife, Soh Cher Wei, father Teoh Leng Hwee, mother Teng Shuw Hor and brother Meng Kee.
“The hospital and the court did not give us a clear idea as to how this should be done. We travelled all the way from Alor Gajah only to find out that it will end this way,” Lee Lan said.

责反贪局有心大作文章‧明福妻力挺女屋友
（马六甲）赵明福妻子苏淑慧今日（週日，10月18日）力挺明福屋友刘瑞蓉，强调两人之间关係清白，並指反贪污委员会以假设性角度来设定他们有曖昧关係，不仅破坏刘瑞蓉的名誉，对再也无法开口反驳的明福有欠公平。
“刘瑞蓉曾是我们在加影的屋友，过后她搬去与姐妹同住，明福则租用她们楼下的小房间。”
刘瑞蓉为明福学姐
苏淑慧週日到明福老家参与明福除灵与合炉仪式时，针对上述事件向记者发表谈话。
苏淑慧表示，刘瑞蓉是明福在国大的学姐，本与她及明福同租一屋，自从刘瑞蓉的姐妹在蒲种购买屋子后，她就搬去与姐妹同住。
她说，后来因为明福每日必须到沙亚南上班，萌起搬迁的念头，刘瑞蓉腾出楼下小房间出租给他。
苏淑慧表示，刘瑞蓉乐意租房间给明福，本是一件清白及公开之事，不应被当局拿来大作文章。
“明福的室友尚包括刘瑞蓉的两个姊妹，为何当局避开这点不谈？如有证据就应该拿出来，不应乱扯。”

反贪委会律师质疑明福‧与女屋友“关係密切”
（雪兰莪‧沙亚南）雪州行政议员欧阳捍华政治秘书赵明福离奇坠楼身亡案週五（10月16日）续审，验尸官阿兹米尔决定不传召赵明福的女屋友出庭；不过，反贪委员会的代表律师阿都拉萨却质疑赵明福与女屋友有“密切关係”。
验尸庭原订於週五传召这名女屋友刘瑞蓉出庭，但阿兹米尔却基於刘瑞蓉所提供警方的口供书显示与赵明福的死並没有直接关联，因而决定不传召刘氏为证人。
不过，阿都拉萨却提出，他不排除赵明福或与刘瑞蓉有“密切关係”，並认为后者的供词將可协助验尸庭判断赵明福的精神状况。
哥宾星斥拉萨假设“越界”
阿都拉萨说，他关注的是赵明福与这名女子的关係，造成赵明福在毙命前可能已受到困扰。
“赵明福有一名单身哥哥住在沙亚南，而他（赵明福）也在沙亚南工作。为何他选择与一名女子（刘瑞蓉）同住，却不与哥哥同住？这是全国人都要知道的。”
当时，赵明福家属的代表律师哥宾星马上站起来反驳说，阿都拉萨指赵明福与刘瑞蓉有密切关係的假设已“越界”，並对刘氏不公平，因而要求他收回有关言论。
“我看只有拉萨想知道。如今是摩登世界的年代，人人可同住一屋檐下。”
阿兹米尔则进一步解释为何他不传召刘瑞蓉出庭。
“她（刘瑞蓉）只是赵明福的朋友，他们在国民大学唸书时认识的，她只出租一间房间给赵明福。”
將传召精神科医生供证
阿兹米尔补充，验尸庭稍后將传召一名曾与赵明福家属及数名反贪委会面谈的精神科医生出庭供证，以分析赵明福的精神状况。
要求翻阅选区拨款文件
官员否认向明福施压
负责审查欧阳捍华4份拨款文件的反贪委会官员阿尔曼助理警监在验尸庭上供证时强调，他盘问赵明福时，不曾对后者施压和使用暴力。
布城反贪会总部情报科官员阿兹曼是验尸庭第28证人，他告诉验尸庭，他曾在7月15日晚上10时30分於反贪委会办公室要求赵明福翻阅选区拨款的文件，但他没有暴力对待赵明福和向他施压。
“我只是问他从其手提电脑影印出来的4份报价表，是否出现在欧阳捍华拨款的文件內，但他无法在文件中找出那些报价表。”
阿尔曼表示，赵明福用了1个半小时来翻阅选区拨款文件夹，但都没有找到发货单正本。
他说，当时赵明福不停翻阅相关文件近5分钟，其身躯没有倚在靠椅上，也不曾直视他的眼神。
此案展延至10月21日及22日续审；届时著名的泰国法医普緹將出庭供证釐清赵明福的死因。

MACC man admits telling officers not to probe cause of aide’s death, too
By WANI MUTHIAH
SHAH ALAM: A top-ranking Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer admitted he told his subordinate not to lodge a police report after political aide Teoh Beng Hock was found dead on July 16.
“I told him (investigating officer Mohd Anuar Ismail) that Teoh was not under our control and had been told to go home after his statement was recorded. His body was also not found in the MACC office,” state MACC deputy director Hishamuddin Hashim told the inquest into Teoh’s death.
He said he would have made the police report himself if the incident had occurred in the MACC office.
Teoh, 30, who was the political secretary to Selangor exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah, was summoned to the state MACC office at the 14th floor of Plaza Masalam here on July 15 for questioning over alleged irregularities in the disbursement of state funds.
He was found dead on the building’s fifth floor the following day.
Questioned by counsel Gobind Singh Deo, who is holding a watching brief for Teoh’s family, Hishamuddin admitted he had told his officers not to investigate what may have led to Teoh’s death.
“The MACC’s reputation is on the line and you didn’t care? Is that what you are saying?
“I put it to you that you didn’t want to know what had happened because of the actions of the MACC officers. You are responsible for Teoh’s death,” said Gobind.
Hishamuddin disagreed and when questioned further admitted he had not gone down to where Teoh’s body was found sprawled.
Gobind: Were you not interested in seeing the body?
Hishamuddin: No.
Hishamuddin also testified that witnesses were not allowed to leave at will even if they had come voluntarily.
However, Hishamuddin said they could get permission to go home in the event of an emergency.
Meanwhile, state MACC investigation unit head Hairul Ilham Hamzah testified that he and Mohd Anuar had found Teoh’s cell phone and bag when they went around the office looking for him on July 16.
Gobind: Did you try to contact him?
Hairul Ilham: No.
Gobind: Why not? It was strange that you couldn’t find him.
When Gobind pointed out the MACC had Teoh’s office contact details, Hairul Ilham said it hadn’t occurred him to do so, adding that his mind had gone blank when he heard that Teoh’s body had been found.
Hairul Ilham disagreed with Gobind that he had not called Teoh since he knew what had happened.
Counsel holding a watching brief for the MACC, Datuk Abdul Razak Musa, also tendered Teoh’s two bank account statements as exhibits.

Teoh, 30, who was the political secretary to Selangor exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah, was summoned to the state MACC office at the 14th floor of Plaza Masalam here on July 15 for questioning over alleged irregularities in the disbursement of state funds.
He was found dead on the building’s fifth floor the following day.
Questioned by counsel Gobind Singh Deo, who is holding a watching brief for Teoh’s family, Hishamuddin admitted he had told his officers not to investigate what may have led to Teoh’s death.
“The MACC’s reputation is on the line and you didn’t care? Is that what you are saying?
“I put it to you that you didn’t want to know what had happened because of the actions of the MACC officers. You are responsible for Teoh’s death,” said Gobind.
Hishamuddin disagreed and when questioned further admitted he had not gone down to where Teoh’s body was found sprawled.
Gobind: Were you not interested in seeing the body?
Hishamuddin: No.
Hishamuddin also testified that witnesses were not allowed to leave at will even if they had come voluntarily.
However, Hishamuddin said they could get permission to go home in the event of an emergency.
Meanwhile, state MACC investigation unit head Hairul Ilham Hamzah testified that he and Mohd Anuar had found Teoh’s cell phone and bag when they went around the office looking for him on July 16.
Gobind: Did you try to contact him?
Hairul Ilham: No.
Gobind: Why not? It was strange that you couldn’t find him.
When Gobind pointed out the MACC had Teoh’s office contact details, Hairul Ilham said it hadn’t occurred him to do so, adding that his mind had gone blank when he heard that Teoh’s body had been found.
Hairul Ilham disagreed with Gobind that he had not called Teoh since he knew what had happened.
Counsel holding a watching brief for the MACC, Datuk Abdul Razak Musa, also tendered Teoh’s two bank account statements as exhibits.

雪州反贪会副总监不知明福是否受酷刑
（雪兰莪‧沙亚南）雪州反贪污委员会副总监希山慕汀指出，所有前往反贪污委员会大厦助查的证人，都是在自愿的情况下出席，若对方有事或生病，则可向有关官员要求展延录供。
他在哥宾星的引导下指出，证人协助录供时，是不被允许半途离开，除非后者生病或不適，才可以要求展延录供程序。
被驳得哑口无言
“反贪委会的工作时间是24小时进行的，所以很多时候官员都会要求证人或嫌犯在正常下班的时间后，才前往协助调查。”
他说，根据阿努亚的匯报，赵明福在助查时，表现不是很自然，当官员询及笔记型电脑的文件內容时，赵明福看起来有点焦虑。
然而，哥宾星马上反驳说，阿努亚在录供当晚一直都在睡觉，根本甚么都不知道，令他质疑希山会从一个甚么都不知道的人口中获取资讯，显示了希山其实是甚么都不懂。他的这番话，顿令希山无言以对。
希山较后坦承，他的確没有见过赵明福本人，也没有亲自去查询以及探望赵录供的情况。因此，他迄今仍不知道赵明福是否被官员以酷刑对待。
他的回答，也推翻了他之前向验尸官阿兹米尔表示官员並没有以酷刑对待赵明福的说法。
供证称整晚没见过明福
希山指出，他於7月15日早上9时，召集了雪州反贪会22至25名官员进行匯报会，要求官员调查一宗有关议员舞弊的案件。同时，他委任了阿努亚为这调查案的负责人，而阿努亚在匯报会后马上展开行动。
他表示，他是从官员的匯报，才瞭解到当晚有赵明福、陈文华等人通宵接受盘问。
他指出，他当晚是因为有公务要忙，所以留在办公室过夜。直至凌晨4时左右，他起身上厕所，在经过茶水间时，看见一名男子坐在沙发上翻阅报纸。
躺沙发男子是陈文华
他披露，他不认识对方，但知道对方並非官员，也不是赵明福。
他重申，整个晚上他都不曾见过赵明福。他后来是在反贪会律师拿督阿都拉萨的引导下指出，他被告知躺在沙发上的男子是陈文华。
律师证人问答录
哥宾星：问
希山慕汀：答

答：不確定。我下午4时回到办公室，警方已经到了

答：是职员，但我不確定是谁。
问：你是第二把交椅，怎么会不懂？没有问吗？
答：不確定。

Teoh Inquest: DNA sample identified
By WANI MUTHIAH and NURBAITI HAMDAN
SHAH ALAM: The inquest into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock was told Thursday that one of the unknown male DNA samples found on the deceased’s belt and jacket has been identified.
Tan Hock Chuan, who is the counsel appointed by the Government to assist Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas, said DNA expert Dr Seah Lay Hong would be revealing the identity of the person.
Dr Seah, who is attached to the Chemistry Department, is scheduled to testify Friday regarding the identity of the individual known as “Male 1.”
Teoh, 30, the political secretary to Selangor executive councilor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was summoned to the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office on the 14th floor of Plaza Masalam here on July 15 to be queried over the alleged disbursement of state funds.
He was found dead at the building’s fifth floor service corridor the following day.
During the inquest Thursday, Teoh’s brother Teoh Meng Kee and close friend Woo Chuan Sing took the stand.
Meng Kee testified his brother did not have any health or financial problems.
Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, holding a watching brief for Teoh’s family, asked Meng Kee, “Do you know if there are any reasons whatsoever that your brother Teoh Beng Hock would want to commit suicide?”
“No,” said Meng Kee.
He also agreed with counsel Datuk Abd Razak Musa, who is holding a watching brief for the MACC, that Teoh had hastened his marriage because his girlfriend Soh Cher Wei was pregnant.
Abd Razak also told Meng Kee that Teoh earned a monthly salary of RM1, 800.
“Do you agree that Chinese weddings cost a lot of money?” said Abd Razak.
“It depends,” said Meng Kee.
“How much is the rough cost?” said Abd Razak.
“It can be less than RM20,000 sometimes,” Meng Kee said.
Abd Razak then suggested that Teoh was forced to expedite the wedding due to Soh’s pregnancy and did not have much savings to pay for the event.
“He had savings and we, as his siblings, would have helped him,” Meng Kee said.
Woo testified that Teoh had SMSed and asked him to be his best man on the day he was summoned by the MACC.
During the inquest Thursday, there was also a heated exchange of words between Gobind and Tan over the summoning of witnesses.
Counsel holding a watching brief for the Selangor state government Malik Imtiaz Sarwar said his party would be calling Selangor MACC deputy director Hishamuddin Hashim and head of investigation unit Hairul Ilham Hamzah.
Malik Imtiaz added that renowned Thai pathologist Dr Porntip Rojanasunan had also said that she would be available on Oct 20 and 21, or Oct 27 and 28.
Tan will also submit the questions prepared by two forensic psychiatrists scheduled to interview Teoh’s family to determine his state of mind prior to his death.
