They were accompanied by an entourage which included investigating officer ASP Supari Muhammad, lawyers for Koh’s family, police and other observers, as well as media representatives who surveyed the location at Jalan SS4B/10.
The visiting panel included its chairman Mah Weng Kwai, who is Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) commissioner and a former Court of Appeals judge, and fellow commissioners Aishah Bidin and Nik Salida.
The 20-minute visit began with a discussion with Koh’s family members about which houses they had approached in the vicinity of the alleged abduction, to get CCTV footage.
Mah later questioned Supari about where the vehicles involved in the alleged abduction had stopped on the road and where the broken glass believed to be from the side-window of the victim’s car had fallen.
The panel also observed the angles and spots from which any witnesses would have seen what had happened.
They walked over to look at houses on both sides of the road and see the viewpoints from which the CCTV shots were captured.
The group left shortly after that, concluding the fifth day of the inquiry which is scheduled to resume on Nov 13.
The inquiry will consider, among other things, whether the cases of Koh, activist Amri Che Mat, and Pastor Joshua Hilmy and wife Ruth, were cases of enforced or involuntary disappearance as defined under the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.
Amri, 44, who co-founded charity organisation Perlis Hope, has been missing since Nov 24 last year.
His wife, Norhayati Ariffin, said witnesses saw five vehicles blocking the path of Amri’s car before he was whisked away, just 550 metres from their home in Bukit Chabang, Perlis.
Joshua and Ruth, meanwhile, were last seen on Nov 30 last year. A police report was lodged in Klang but the case was referred to Petaling Jaya police as the complainant said the missing persons lived in Kampung Tunku.
