Crime scene investigating officer V. Simon, 38, of the Perak police forensic division said this in his examination in chief by deputy public prosecutor Liyana Zawani Mohd Radzi.
“Four strands of hair were also found on the mattress,” said the 14th prosecution witness when shown the case exhibits for identification.
He also said that two swab samples were taken of stains, also believed to be semen, on the side of a bed and on the floor.
Among the items taken from the crime scene were a mop, a man’s grey underwear, clothing, a pair of blue shorts, a pink underwear and a pair of blue bra, he told the court.
Judge Abdul Wahab Mohamed, who heard the case, later adjourned the trial and the witness will continue his statement tomorrow.
Yong, 51, pleaded not guilty to a charge of raping his Indonesian maid at his residence in Meru Desa Park here between 8.15pm and 9.15pm on July 7, 2019.
The case was earlier mentioned in the Session’s Court, but on Dec 15 last year, the Federal Court allowed the defence’s application to transfer the case to the High Court for trial.
The Tronoh assemblyman was first charged in the Session’s Court here on Aug 23, 2019, when he was the state exco for housing, local government, public transport, non-Muslim affairs and new villages.
Earlier, the court heard the statement of Chor Pei Sun, 47, a marketing sales department employee at the maid agency which managed the victim’s employment.
Chor said the company received a call from the victim’s employer on the medical check-up of the Indonesian maid before the incident.
“I received a call from the employer (Mrs Yong) before the case, asking whether there was any problem with her (the victim’s) medical check-up,” said the 11th witness when cross-examined by counsel Salim Bashir.
Chor, however, did not agree when asked whether the victim had mental issues before being brought into the country.
The witness later said she received a call from the victim’s employer only once on her medical check-up over whether she had passed her Foreign Workers Medical Examination Monitoring Agency (Fomema) check-up.
In the proceedings today, the court also heard statements from three more witnesses, including Kwan Mei Yee, 46, a clerk in the maid agency who answered the call from the Indonesia embassy which informed her of the victim’s complaint on July 8, 2019, one day after the incident.
Two other witnesses were the maid agency director Hong Ngin Sin and company driver Tan Cheoh Teong.
