Umar Shahbudin, 32, a former digital forensics analyst from CyberSecurity Malaysia and the 14th witness, said this was found from analysis of the complainant’s call logs, which also revealed five incoming calls and one missed call from Lew’s number.

“In total, there were 21 call logs involving Lew’s number on the complainant’s phone,” Bernama quoted him as saying in response to questions from deputy public prosecutor Rasyidah Murni Adzmi.

Umar said the phone was part of five pieces of evidence handed to him on Oct 27, 2021, including two mobile phones, a SIM card, a memory card and a Unifi SIM card.

He took one week to analyse the evidence before returning it to the investigating officer on Nov 26, 2021.

Earlier, CyberSecurity Malaysia digital forensics department head Tajul Josalmin Tajul Ariffin testified that the evidence was sealed in envelopes bearing CyberSecurity Malaysia’s logo.

He received the items on Nov 26, 2021 from investigating officer Noor Asyikin Shamsuri.

Tajul said the police requested help to retrieve Instagram account information, call logs and WhatsApp conversations.

Lew, 39, faces 11 charges of outraging the modesty of a woman in her 40s by sending her lewd messages and images via WhatsApp between March and June 2021.

He is charged under Section 509 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both.

The trial, presided over by magistrate Nur Asyraf Zolhani, continues tomorrow.
