With Lance Cpl Rohaniza, the seventh witness taking the stand, the trial has
moved into a new phase as she was among the last few people to have seen Ms Altantuya alive.
The witness, policeman Azilah Hadri's ex-girlfriend, was among the earlier suspects in the investigation and was remanded for 14 days before she was released without charges being filed against her.
Lance Cpl Rohaniza said she and Azilah had gone to Abdul Razak's house in Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur, on the night of Oct 19 last year after Azilah received a call on his mobile phone.

She also told the court that when they drove up to Abdul Razak's house, she saw Ms Altantuya with Abdul Razak's private investigator, Mr Balasubramaniam Perumal.
She said Azilah spoke to Ms Altantuya and the investigator, and answered another call on his mobile phone.
Ms Altantuya then entered their car voluntarily after being told that they were police officers. At that time, Lance Cpl Rohaniza added, she was already off duty.
As Azilah drove away from Abdul Razak's house with Ms Altantuya in the car, he advised the Mongolian not to make a scene outside the political analyst's family as he had a family.
Azilah also asked her to resolve her quarrel with Abdul Razak at the latter's office.
"She said okay," said Lance Cpl Rohaniza.

Ms Burmaa Oyunchimeg, 26,she had seen a photograph of her cousin, interpreter Altantuya Shaariibuu, with her then lover Abdul Razak Baginda, and other people including one "Najib Razak". Ms Burmaa did not, however, say if "Najib Razak" was Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Still, the mere mention of the name "Najib Razak" drew a loud "oooh" from the packed gallery.
Abdul Razak, a prominent political analyst who is accused of ordering the killing of Ms Altantuya, is a close associate of Datuk Seri Najib.
