  "account": "In the inquest examining the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir, four journals were scrutinized, all found to be incomplete. One journal, the olive-green \"Love And Peace\" journal (WK9), had a particularly striking alteration. Forensic science lecturer Dr Wan Nur Syuhaila Desa of Universiti Sains Malaysia disclosed that WK9 was received in a worn and torn state and contained 64 sheets fewer than its reference model. Additionally, traces of both original and newly pasted endpapers were evident, indicating significant modification of the journal. Dr Wan also employed the Electrostatic Detection Apparatus (ESDA) method to detect hidden writing, uncovering impressions on certain pages of journals W2 and WK9 that did not correspond to any pages within the journals themselves. She concluded that all four journals were incomplete at the time of examination, with varying degrees of sheet loss ranging from 21 to 64 sheets.",
