Deputy public prosecutor Zilfinaz Abbas told reporters that Bella testified in-camera for two days before judge Izralizam Sanusi.

Bella, clad in a pink baju kurung, arrived at the Kuala Lumpur court complex at about 9am, accompanied by welfare officers and policemen.

The trial was conducted in-camera as the girl was the victim in the case. Her testimony could not be reported by law as she is a child witness.

The hearing was postponed because a police witness, Inspector Suhaili Mahad of Kuala Lumpur CID was on medical leave.

The hearing will continue on Oct 18-19.

Siti Bainun, 30, faces two charges of neglecting and abusing the teenage girl causing her to suffer physical and emotional injuries between February and June 2021 at a condominium in Wangsa Maju here.
