FORMER Romanian diplomat Silviu Ionescu's account of what happened in the early hours of Dec 15 last year, when he said the embassy's Audi A6 sedan was stolen, was presented in court yesterday.
But it did not square with the evidence offered by the more than 50 witnesses who have testified in the Coroner's Court in the last six days.
They were giving evidence for the inquiry into the death of Mr Tong Kok Wai, 30, a victim of a hit-and-run accident on Dec 15 who was so badly hurt that he had to be taken off life support 10 days later.
Dr Ionescu, 49, did not attend the hearing to which he had been invited. He had claimed that he had to return to Romania for medical treatment.
Yesterday's final witness, Station Inspector Raimi Yusof, an investigation officer with the Traffic Police, read out a statement made by Dr Ionescu to the police nine hours after the accident.
In it, Dr Ionescu claimed he discovered the locked car stolen from outside the Romanian embassy at about 3am on Dec 15, shortly before the accident.
