Judge questions officer’s conduct in probing model’s death

KUALA LUMPUR: The Coroner’s Court has called into question the conduct of the second investigating officer in the case of 19-year-old Dutch model Ivana Esther Robert Smith (pic), who was found dead and naked on the sixth floor of a condominium here in December 2017.

Ruling that her death was due to misadventure, Sessions Court judge Mahyon Talib, who sat as coroner in the inquest into Smit’s death, criticised Asst Supt Faizal Abdullah for not questioning American businessman Alex Johnson, 44, and his Kazakh wife Luna Almaz, 31, more.
