The wife of a Malaysian pastor abducted eight years ago has won a lawsuit against the police and the government, in a landmark case that has gripped the nation.
Raymond Koh was pulled out of his car by masked men in a suburb of the capital Kuala Lumpur in 2017. His whereabouts remain unknown - his family has long maintained he was taken by police.
On Wednesday, the high court ruled he had been forcibly disappeared, with the judge holding the government and police responsible for his abduction. It is Malaysia's first such judgement.
The court also ruled that the state must pay more than 31m ringgit (£5.7m; $7.4m) to Mr Koh's family, the largest sum for damages in Malaysian legal history.
In an emotional speech following the decision, his wife Susanna Liew told reporters: "We are overjoyed and thankful to God that we have a fair and honest judgement.
