Naval cadet murder trial: Witness claims autopsy report did not show continuity of burns as cause of death


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A forensic expert told the High Court here Monday (Dec 28) that the autopsy report of Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) naval cadet officer Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain did not show that the continuity of major burns suffered by the victim had solely caused his death.

The 19th defence witness, Dr Rohayu Shahar Adnan, 49, head of Sungai Buloh Hospital Forensics Department, said this was because the conclusion given by Dr Salmah Arshad, a forensic expert from Serdang Hospital, was not supported by her (Dr Salmah’s) microscopic examination because in medicine it was necessary for such examination.
