Finally, Najib and Rosmah in court complex for interview...

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor were at the Jalan Duta court complex in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon to be interviewed by lawyers representing Anwar Ibrahim in his Sodomy II trial.

They arrived at 2.55pm through the basement of the sprawling building and took the lift up to the seventh floor.

In another sudden change of plans, former Malacca police chief Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof was also present to be interviewed.

Defence lawyers Karpal Singh, Sankara Nair and Param Cumaraswamy conducted the interviews.

Najib and Rosmah were to be quizzed on their meeting with complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan at their official residence when Najib was DPM.

They met Saiful two days before the alleged sodomy incident.

Anwar has claimed political conspiracy following reports that the trio met before the alleged incident.

Najib and Rosmah arrived through the back passage of the massive court complex and left about half-an-hour later, together with their entourage.

Members of the press were caught by surprise by the attendance of Najib and Rosmah, as there had been no indication they would come today.

Najib was earlier seen at the National Mosque, during Friday prayers. He is scheduled to chair a BN supreme council meeting this afternoon.

Other witnesses who were interviewed included Desa Damansara condo unit owner Hasanuddin Abdul Hamid and his wife, Noor Sham Abd Hamid. The condo is where the alleged sodomy incident happened.

Anwar is charged with sodomising Saiful at the Desa Damansara condominium between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.

On Tuesday, High Court judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah brushed off an objection from the prosecution over Anwar's presence during the interviews.

After dismissing the objection and allowing Anwar's presence, seven witnesses were brought in to be interviewed.

This was followed with two yesterday and another five today, including Najib and Rosmah.

A total of 14 witnesses were interviewed this week, in addition to five others done earlier.
