Pornthip said that TBH did not commit suicide. TBH died from a fall, and he did not jump because he was unconscious at that time. It is clear that it was homicide, and it was conducted in the premise of MACC. The head of MACC would be responsible to get the murderer(s) for justice to be served.

MACC counsel Razak said that only Pornthip but not the other four pathologists noticed the ‘evidence’ which confirmed her opinion that the injuries were inflicted on TBH before his fall, and that TBH was unconscious at the time he fell. Dr Peter Venezis might be excused for not noticing the crucial evidence because he was only an observer during the second autopsy. But the other pathologists were involved in the first autopsy and they should have seen the crucial evidence if they had been performed professionally to determine the cause of death. It could be possible for them to ignore the evidence if such evidence present problems to them to accomplish the mission to conclude that TBH killed himself. It is difficult to prove oneself to be competent if he is not well trained, but it would be a simple matter to pretend to be incompetent .

TBH could not be both conscious and unconscious at the same time during the fall. The two pathologists who conducted the first autopsy said TBH was conscious. They did neither comment on the injuries to TBH’s neck nor on the evidence that TBH suffered from cerebral edema before the fall which was caused by a stoppage of at least 5-minute in the supply of oxygen to the brain. Dr Peter Venezis, the pathologist who investigated Princess Diana death did not rule out that TBH was unconscious during the fall. Thus the two Malaysian pathologists did not do thorough job in the autopsy.

Pornthip said that TBH did not commit suicide. TBH was injured before his death. It is MACC’s duty to investigate who among the officials on duty that night who caused bodily harm to TBH, prior to throwing him out of the window. It is most probable that MCAA officials used force on TBH to make TBH say what these officials wanted to hear. Sensing that TBH could not regain consciousness, they chose to cause confusion by throwing or dropping TBH from the high floor knowing that TBH would not survive the fall.

The police knew very well that unless TBH could be said to have committed suicide, somebody in MACC’s employ would have to answer for homicide. The two pathologists confirmed that they conducted the autopsy on instruction from the police which was to search for supporting justifications to conclude that TBH had committed suicide. That revelation is shocking as the terms of reference of pathologists should be to seek truth based on evidence. The directive given by the police to the pathologists shows that the police was biased and that it wanted only to show that MACC was not responsible. The police can wish MACC well, but it is against rule of law to obstruct justice.

Pornthip commented that if there should be any written document left in connection with a death, evidence of any third party finger prints could point to foul play. It is most ridiculous that the note was said to have been found two months after the incident, rather than immediately after the event, if it ever existed. Now the AG and the police owe the nation an explanation why the police could not use the so-called not to hunt for murderer but chose to use it to shield MACC from answerable to the crime. Incompetence among the police and the AG offices might be of a lesser evil. The worst is the police and the AG are seen to be in collusion in using their authority to cover up crimes committed by staff in their employ. Nobody would think that it was the head of MACC who wanted TBH dead. Why is the whole government machinery trying to cover up a crime committed by one or more of the operatives in MACC, as though the position of Najib is under attack? No government in the world would stake its reputation to prevent justice the way MACC and police together with the AG office tried to make a homicide look like suicide.
