Then came a stunning confession2 days agoShareSaveTessa WongAsia Digital Reporter, Kuala LumpurShareSaveBBCSusanna Liew has been fighting for nearly a decade to find out what happened to her husbandWhen Susanna Liew stepped in front of the TV cameras at Kuala Lumpur's High Court last month, she called the moment a "historic and emotional milestone".

"Today... the High Court has delivered a judgment of what we have long believed: that Pastor Raymond Koh was a victim of a grave injustice," the 69-year-old said in a shaky voice that evening.

It was a hard-won but stunning legal victory in a case that became one of Malaysia's biggest mysteries.

Nearly nine years earlier, her husband had been snatched by masked men in broad daylight. The abduction was captured on CCTV and gripped the nation for years.

The high court ruled that the elite Special Branch of the police had taken Raymond Koh, and held both the police and the Malaysian government responsible for the country's first-ever enforced disappearance case to be heard in a court.
