The knocks at her door came at 6.30am, three hours after Miss Darinne Ko Wen Hui (above), 23, had gone to bed. One of her parents opened the door for two officers from the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) on April 2 last year.
The officers said they needed Miss Ko's assistance on an investigation. One of her parents woke her up. The officers searched her bedroom and took three files of law school notes, her laptop and mobile phone, an iPad, loose papers and an appointment letter.
They then took Miss Ko back to the Bureau for questioning.
Details of Miss Ko's time at the Bureau were heard in court yesterday, at the second day of the trial of law professor Tey Tsun Hang, 41, who is charged with six counts of corruptly obtaining sex and gifts from her.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Andre Jumabhoy yesterday applied to impeach her with respect to eight paragraphs in the CPIB statement recorded that day.
If successful, the move would see the star witness in the sex-for-grades trial declared a hostile witness, meaning one who deviates from prior statements made.
