Crime scene to courtroom: Beefing up Sabah's cases against wildlife offenders

KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife officials in Sabah recently underwent a five-day "from crime scene to courtroom" training course to help them put together watertight cases that will ensure offenders are successfully prosecuted.

The investigation, prosecution and courtroom training session involved 32 participants from government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to hone their skills in arrest methods, interviewing suspects, the prosecution process and court decorum.
