Dutch model inquest: Local media barred from condo, foreign media allowed in


KUALA LUMPUR: The court visit to the scene where Dutch model Ivana Esther Robert Smit was found dead last December had an unusual condition: Media members from the Netherlands were given full access, while local media had restrictions imposed on them.

Two reporters from her homeland were allowed to go up to the condominium unit from which she had fallen, while reporters from The Star, Bernama, Utusan Malaysia and Free Malaysia Today were barred.
