An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:



A businessman standing trial for allegedly killing a woman in Sungai Petani almost nine years ago told the Alor Star High Court that he paid her for sex on the day she died.

The accused, Shahril Jaafar, 33, as reported by The Star, said he asked a friend identified as 'Wayne' to find him a non-Malay girl in her 20s for sex on January 14, 2006.

“At about 4pm, 'Wayne' called and said he had arranged for a girl to meet me near the Cinta Sayang Club.

"He said the girl would look for me. At about 5pm, while I was waiting in my car, the deceased appeared and knocked on my window.
“After introducing ourselves, I asked her to move to the back seat. She demanded RM350 and without further delay, we had sex,” Shahril said in his defence yesterday, The Star reported today.

The murder victim, Chee Gaik Yap, and her case attracted nationwide attention in January 2006. Chee, 25, was a marketing executive, who allegedly kidnapped, raped and then murdered near the Cinta Sayang Club in Taman Ria Jaya when she went for a jog with her younger sister.
Her semi-nude body was found in a housing estate nearby hours after she had disappeared.

Shahril, the son of a Datuk who reportedly owned a meteorite and opal company, was detained as a suspect shortly after. He fled to Perth, Australia after he was released on police bail pending a DNA test in 2006.
He was arrested at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on January 17, 2012 on his return from Perth, and was charged with Chee's murder two weeks later.

The case made headlines again when Shahril was acquitted and discharged by the Alor Star High Court without his defence called on June 25 last year.

The court ruled that the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case as there was no clear evidence to implicate Shahril in the murder.

Chee's father Ah Sau, 58 – who had tirelessly sought justice for his daughter over the years – was devastated by the court's decision and tried to jump off the balcony of the two-storey court complex, shocking pressmen, who managed to grab him in time.

The case went to the Court of Appeal and in October, Shahril's acquittal and discharge was set aside and he was ordered to enter his defence.

Yesterday, on the first day of the hearing since he entered his defence, the report stated Shahril said he did not use a condom.

He said that Chee left his car when he received a call from his mother. Shahril's mother told him to pick her up after a golf tournament at the club.

He said the young woman was alive then.

“It was the first and last time I saw her. I only got to know about a body being found outside the club the following day, and discovered that Chee had been murdered after reading about it in a newspaper the next day,” Shahril said, adding that 'Wayne' could not be reached on the phone. – December 29, 2014. :rolleyes:
