• 	Dragged from behind?
  	Using heels to struggle

A police forensics expert today did not rule out the possibility that political aide Teoh Beng Hock could have been dragged before he was found dead.

Chief Inspector Mazli Jusoh, 31, told this at the inquest proceeding after being shown scratch marks on the deceased's right shoe.

Lawyer Malik Imtiaz Sarwar: “Do you agree that the scratch marks have an important implication?”

Mazli: Agree

Malik: Does this mean the deceased could have been dragged?

Mazli: No. Usually, if someone is dragged, the signs will not be on the sole of the shoes. If the person is dragged from behind, he would use the heels of his shoes to struggle.

Malik: What if he was dragged sideways? Is there a possibility?

Mazli: YesThe inquest has been adjourned till tomorrow.
