Businessperson Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, one of the ‘Datuk Trio’ involved in releasing the infamous sex video, has given the police a sample of his DNA to assist investigations.
Businessperson Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, one of the ‘Datuk Trio’ involved in releasing the infamous sex video, has given the police a sample of his DNA to assist investigations.
"I was called this morning to come in for further questioning and I have also willingly surrendered my DNA sample," he said.
Eskay, met today at the police headquarters at Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur, said he was also asked several questions "relevant to the case".
He, however, refused to disclose the nature of the questions, saying that it was merely to "tighten the case".
Eskay also declined to reveal why he had to provide his DNA sample.
He arrived at the police headquarters at 10am and left about 1.15pm.
"I will answer all questions tomorrow at a press conference. I called you today just to tell you that I have willingly given my DNA... you know that I will always give you my cooperation," he said, smiling.

skay, Risda chairperson Rahim Thamby Chik and former Perkasa treasurer Shuib Lazim had on March 21 aired the video to journalists at a luxury hotel.
The 22-minute video shows a man who resembles Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim having intercourse with a sex worker. He denied any involvement and lodged a police report.
'Why hasn’t Eskay been arrested? '
In related development, DAP Parliamentary Leader Lim Kit Siang has slammed deputy police chief Khalid Abu Bakar for his threat yesterday to expose the sex video ‘performer’.
According to Lim, the more pressing matter is why the trio have not been charged for the public screening of obscene material.
“The public are outraged and aghast that, after more than a month, Datuk T… have not been charged in court for various crimes… (to) which they had confessed more than a month ago,” he said.
By ignoring this, he said, the police are lending credence to suspicion that the force is working hand in glove with the BN.
“There are Umno-BN elements who want to play ‘political games’ with the sex tape but why should the police compromise its image and reputation by descending so low as to be co-opted into the cast of Umno-BN theatrics against Pakatan Rakyat and Anwar?”
Lim also questioned why the police have been silent over the open letter by its former Kuala Lumpur criminal investigations department chief Mat Zain Ibrahim who claimed that there was another sex video linked to Anwar in 1999.
The retired officer said there was reason to believe that the first video which he had investigated 12 years ago is linked with the one screened in March.
“Why is there total silence from Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar and the deputy IGP (over) the past 10 days (following) Mat Zain’s open letter dated April 18, when the duo are so prepared to comment on various matters under the sun?” asked Lim.
