Body may have been placed, engineer tells Teoh inquiry

Reading the report on the MACC RCI, Body may have been placed, engineer tells Teoh inquiry some of the statements purportedly to have been uttered might have caused great amusement, if the RCI was not such a serious matter, initiated after despairing results of the Court enquiry over the tragic death of a witness.

In trying to determine the cause of death of the witness, the forensic expert, a self confessed aeronautical engineer, (the body was flying through the air before it reached the ground?) used an elliptical object to simulate the fall of the body, but admitted he was not satisfied with it, as naturally, the object did not have the inherent shape of a human body.

He also remarked that the Police wanted to provide a PLASTIC mannequin, but of course he was correct that plastic will shatter to bits, quite unlike what the human flesh will do, falling from a great height.

I am not sure what the RCI panel would have inferred from such disclosures, but as a layman who is addicted to the CSI series on TV(in addition to KBS World), I have a feeling of discomfort that we are not using the proper personnel and props to conduct a proper and professional investigation at all. Improperly conducted investigations will surely give rise to concern, and incorrect findings, and ultimately, the cause of true justice cannot then be served.
