On that day, Mr Widjaja was found dead after falling four storeys from a link bridge on campus.

On the fifth day of the coroner’s inquiry into Mr Widjaja’s death, forensic scientist Lim Chin Chin told the court that her findings were based on the photographs, two visits to the campus in April and information given by the police.
Ms Lim, from the Forensic Chemistry and Physics Laboratory of the Health Sciences Authority, took the witness stand on Tuesday, along with Dr Christopher Syn, a senior forensic scientist who conducted a DNA examination of blood taken at the scene.
She said that almost all the blood stains left behind in Prof Chan’s office belonged to Mr Widjaja – including some found on the wall above a computer monitor. Prof Chan had been seated near the computer when the alleged attack began.
These stains indicate the swing of an arm downwards from somewhere above the monitor where blood was either cast off from a wound or from a blood-stained object, she explained.
Dr Syn told the court on Monday that only Mr Widjaja’s blood was found on the knife handle. He added that the blade, which broke off during the struggle, had a mixture of both Mr Widjaja’s and Prof Chan’s blood.
Ms Lim said that Prof Chan’s blood was only detected on the floor near a computer table.
Blood from a partial palm print on some documents near the office’s door were also found to be Mr Widjaja’s.
Outside the room, blood trailed in two different directions. One was caused by Prof Chan while the other, more severe, was from Mr Widjaja.
