LIVE Report #Sodomy2 Trial | 9.38am: Shafee concludes there would have been no opportunity for fabrication of evidence.

He now reads the testimony where the police witnes (the officer on duty manning the cell) testify that he saw Anwar bring the mineral water bottle into the cell.

The police, he adds, allowed Anwar to bring the bottle.

Jude, the prosecutor says, also testified that when escorting Anwar to the lockup he saw Anwar bring a mineral water bottle.

"Jude says Anwar carried the 'Cactus' mineral water bottle. The item recovered from the cell (the next day) was also a Cactus mineral water bottle."

In the face of the evidence from the two police officers, Shafee says those items should be accepted as evidence.

"They were simply stating what they saw. There is no conspiracy," he adds.

The mineral water bottle, toothbrush and towel were tested for Anwar's DNA.

9.33am: Shafee says while the defence had earlier raised the manner in which the recovery of the items had been made, he pointed out this was not raised during the Court of Appeal hearings.

He says the police were not cross-examined on the issue.

The prosecutor says a police officer had heard Anwar brushing his teeth, and this was not challenged by the defence team at the time.

"All this are not challenged. When Anwar left the lockup these items, which were previously in a plastic bag were all over the floor.

"This shows usage of these items by the appellant (Anwar)."

Last week the defence argued that there was no sink in Anwar's cell and therefore he could not have brushed his teeth.

The seized items were used to procure Anwar's DNA.

9.25am: Shafee begins his submission. He informs there is a third bundle which he has submitted to the judges.

He is now submitting on the items seized from Anwar's cell on July 17, 2008.

The prosecutor says police had taken a strand of hair, the 'good morning' towel, toothbrush, water bottle to be used as evidence.

Anwar had placed these items on the half wall inside the cell.

Supt Amidon Anan, he says, took extra precaution when retrieving the items and sending it to the chemist via the investigating officer (IO, DSP Jude Blacious Pereira).
