Bella case: Siti Bainun fabricated hot water incident, says judge

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here found that Rumah Bonda founder Siti Bainun Ahd Razali’s testimony that Bella, a teenage girl with Down syndrome, was injured by hot water from a flask was fabricated because the incident never occurred.

Judge Izralizam Sanusi said in his judgment that Siti Bainun testified that on May 6 to 9, 2021, she and her housemate, Noor Marliana Ramlee, the third defence witness, left a condominium unit in Wangsa Maju to work at Rumah Bonda in Setapak.
