EPISODES
/ (5/5) Dramatis Personæ —
Who’s Who of Clare Brown
CONTINUED FROM PART IV
LESTER MELANYI
Much of what the panel knows about Lester is from recent events, admittedly. Other than him having worked at the old Sarawak Tribune, and was forced to tender his resignation due to the purportedly accidental printing of the infamous cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
He was recently thrust into the spotlight again due to his recent confession on the nature of his involvement with Clare Rewcastle Brown, and because of that, received very swift, and exacting condemnation from his former colleague at Sarawak Report.
While Mr Melanyi’s testimony is severely in doubt at the moment, not in the least due to the very sloppy mistake with the photograph of the person he had alleged to be Clare Brown’s “I.T. Guy”. The Panel assumes that this is the same “I.T. Guy” that Justo had referred to in his confession.
The only thing we can do at this moment concerning the actual validity of Lester’s confession is to wait for more auxiliary evidence to emerge, chiefly of which the ones still forthcoming from the Thai authorities, who are awaiting due processes to take their course.
MISSING PIECES
This list is by no means exhaustive, and The NINE QUESTIONS Panel will continue to update this Dramatis Personæ — Who’s Who of Clare Brown as more concrete evidence become available.
Until the NINE QUESTIONS Blog returns with more facts, we shall ponder on more of Justo’s confession in The Straits Times of Singapore,
“I gave the original documents without any kind of alteration,” he claimed.
“I can say that I gave those documents to two groups of people,” he added. One was Rewcastle-Brown and “her I.T. guy” and the other was the Malaysian businessman and his colleague. The Straits Times is not naming the businessman as well as his colleague pending their response to the latest allegations.
“He alleged that those he met had talked about using the documents “to try to bring down the Malaysian government”, adding that they also referred to plans to “modify the documents”.
“He said he asked PetroSaudi for more money in 2013 but it turned him down.
“Subsequently, through a contact in Geneva with connections in Malaysia, he was introduced to Rewcastle-Brown, whom he later met in Bangkok at the Plaza Athenee hotel and in Singapore at the Fullerton Hotel. In Singapore, she was accompanied by the others named in his confession.”
