the coroner and several legal teams at the Selangor MACC office.
The visit by coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas and a few legal teams to the
Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission office in Shah Alam has
raised further questions concerning the death of DAP political aide
Teoh Beng Hock.
The question now is blood stains belong to Teoh Beng Hock? If yes,
then it shall solve the mystery of death as a murder case and not
accidental in nature. Would the blood stains be protected from
contamination or washing away to cover up the identity???
There is serious problem on the professionalism of the police in the
investigation. MACC officers have not been co-operative to reveal the
truth and the root cause of the death. The spirit of Teoh Beng Hock
had made those involved in the killing to have restless days ahead.
Even this evidence shall be protected so that the coroner and legal
teams were led to verify the blood stains which may unlock the mystery
of Teoh Beng Hock's death.
This article is interesting and worthwhile to archive it.

TBH inquest: Blood on stairwell?
Source: Malaysiakini (Andrew Ong, Aug 7, 09, 4:01pm)
The visit by coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas and a few legal teams to the
Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission office in Shah Alam has
raised further questions concerning the death of DAP political aide
Teoh Beng Hock. This was because stains, which might be blood, were
found on the stairwell linking the 14th floor, the main entrance of
the MACC office, to the 15th floor portion of the office. More stains
were seen in a room on the 15th floor. Shockingly, it was revealed to
the coroner that the police have not taken samples of the stains.
According to counsel for Teoh's family Lim Lip Eng (left), it was
originally arranged for the coroner to visit the entire 14th floor,
but lawyers asked to see the 15th floor as well. "We were walking up
the staircase to the 15th floor through the backdoor. When we reached
the 15th floor, we found a two-feet long stain on the floor of the
staircase. "We asked the director of (Selangor) MACC what was the
stain but he didn't know. The police investigating officer said he
would inspect the substance," said Lim. When the team entered the 15th
floor office, they were not allowed to visit individual rooms. Lim
said they saw more stains on a wall in the room when they looked
through a glass pane on the door. "It looked like blood. I can't say
for sure. Once again, we asked the director and the investigating
officer and they said they didn't know about it and did not include it
as part of the investigations," said an irate Lim, who is also
Segambut MP.
Police probe still ongoing?
In view of this, Lim chided the police for failing to conduct a
thorough investigation. He also claimed that the police were still in
the process of securing DNA samples from new suspects. He also
lamented that since police investigations are still ongoing, it may
compromise the inquest process. "This is not going according to
procedure. An inquest should not be rushed. Police investigations
should be completed first so the facts can be produced for the
coroner's consideration. "Yesterday, the DNA expert was put on the
dock. If those are really blood tains, does it mean the expert has to
be called back again soon? This will drag the inquest on," said Lim.
Barely a week after Teoh died on July 16, the cabinet instructed the
Attorney-General's Chambers to apply for an inquest, which began on
July 29. Earlier, the press were given a runaround by the police
escorting the coroner and the legal team. While the horde of pressmen
guarded the 14th floor entrance of the MACC office, the coroner exited
through the 15th floor and proceeded to the fifth-floor to inspect the
landing where Teoh's body was found. When the coroner was done with
the fifth floor, the police again gave reporters the slip by ushering
him into a staircase to avoid the pressmen crowding the lift lobby.
