KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 — The police said they are waiting for several reports, including a toxicology report, before progressing in their investigations on the death of an 18-year-old Dutch model.

This came after claims that Ivana Smit’s death last December should be investigated for murder instead of the current classification of sudden death, following alleged evidence that the deceased had bruises on her arms, likely inflicted before her fall. There were also suggestions of a cover up by local authorities.

City police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said police had never stopped investigating since the case was reopened.

“The people hired by the family are sharing all this to the media, but we have not received anything on record,” he said.

Dutch online newspaper, the NL Times, had earlier reported that lawyer Sebas Diekstra, who is helping Smit’s family to find out the cause of her death on December 7 last year, uploaded a screenshot of the alleged CCTV footage on his Twitter account.

Mazlan said police were looking into several footages of the area where Ivana had passed through that night.

He said there was no continuity of the alleged footage uploaded which showed Ivana being carried by an American man out of a club in the city just hours before her death, as Smit had visited three outlets that night.

“It is not good for us when the papers claimed we are unprofessional. We are investigating all aspect up to the point of it being discussed with the Federal Criminal Investigation Department director.

“They should discuss with us if they have information and we will explain to them,” he said.

He said at the moment, the police have not found any criminal elements and are still investigating the case for sudden death.

Smit’s naked body was found at a condominium in Dang Wangi, where she was believed to have fallen from the 20th floor.

She was believed to have been partying with American Alexander Johnson, 44, and his Kazakh wife, Lunara Almazkyzy, 30.

Both were charged with drug abuse on December 11 and released the following week on bail.

The report added that the CCTV footage was found by a private detective, and is likely to strengthen Smit’s family’s belief that her death was no accident.

The pathologist who conducted Ivana’s second post-mortem had said he found bruises on her arms, which he said were likely inflicted before her fall.

Smit was cremated in her birth town of Roermond in the Netherlands on December 30.
