Even Justice Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin asked the prosecution several times on how to keep the explosives to prevent something untoward from happening.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Noorin Badaruddin earlier told the court that the electric detonator fixed with two white wires was very sensitive and should not be touched or let to fall.
The judge then ordered for the detonator be moved away from other explosive materials and suggested for it be placed near DPP Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah.
The suggestion brought back excitement in those who were initially bored with today’s proceeding which only involved the marking of exhibits.
Firearms and tool marks unit head at the Criminalistic Section of Petaling Jaya Chemistry Department’s Forensic Division Shaari Desa, 40, said the case items could trigger an explosion if they got near handphones and kept in hot environment.
“The court has no suitable place to keep the case items but since they have become exhibits, we will keep them here,” he said on the 53rd day of trial of two Special Action Squad operatives — Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 31, and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 36, — and political analyst Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda, 47.
The two policemen are alleged to have murdered the 28-year-old Mongolian woman in a jungle in Bukit Raja here in October last year while Razak is charged with abetting them.
Shaari, who is the 40th prosecution witness, earlier marked 70 case items he received from investigating officer ASP Tonny Lunggan on Nov 17 last year for analysis.
Among the items was a HK-MP5SD sub-machine gun with a silencer fixed on its barrel but without a magazine.
Other items included a 9mm bullet casing, an empty magazine, 20 live bullets, wires, a piece of black rubber, a metal tube containing white powder and a container with a detonating cord and white powder.
Saari said he also received soil samples, several bone specimens and lumps of hair.
He said he put the case items in a locked cabinet in the Criminalistic Section’s vault.
On Nov 24 last year, he handed over some of the lumps of hair to chemist J. Primulapathi for analysis, he said.
