Bella case: Witness denies being paid to give false testimony in court

Rumah Bonda resident Yasmin Nahar Mahmood today denied the defence's allegation that she was paid to give false testimony in court during the trial of Rumah Bonda founder Siti Bainun Ahd Razali, who is accused of neglecting and abusing Bella, a 13-year-old girl with Down syndrome.

The 19-year-old fifth prosecution witness said this when cross-examined by the lawyer representing Siti Bainun, Nur A'minahtul Mardiah Md Nor, at the trial of the case before Sessions Court judge Izralizam Sanusi.
