KUALA LUMPUR: A lawyer has apologised to the media on behalf of his clients for allowing foreign media to accompany coroner Mahyon Talib and her court team to visit the scene where Dutch model Ivana Esther Robert Smit was found dead.
Counsel Sankara Nair, who was holding a watching brief for Ivana’s family, made the apology before coroner Mahyon as they felt it was unfair to only allow foreign media to go up to the scene at level six and 20 of CapSquare Residences, where Ivana was last seen.
On Wednesday (Aug 8), an investigating officer had informed local media - The Star, FMT, Utusan Malaysia and Bernama - at the lobby lift of the condominium that they were not allowed to follow the team. They were only allowed to wait at the lobby area.
