Deputy district police chief Superintendent Zulkifli Taha said Marliana had to be present at the murder trial, which begins tomorrow at the Kuantan High Court.

Marliana Harun is the key witness in a murder trial

In the May 29 murder, Wong Geet Yin, 53, of Jalan Wong Ah Jang here, was abducted by a couple who demanded a ransom of RM10,000 from her family.

The family paid the ransom. However, the couple had already killed Wong and dumped her body in Tanjung Lumpur here.

Police arrested the couple after Wong's family suspected something amiss when she did not return home.

The couple led police to the body.
