FOUL PLAY FEAR IN MODEL’S DEATH
THE family of a stunning Dutch model whose body was found on the lower levels of an apartment building in Malaysia claim her death was a result of foul play.
Ivana Smit’s naked body was discovered on the sixth floor of an apartment building in Kuala Lumpur about 3pm on December 6 after a wild night of partying.
Dutch media reports the 18-year-old had been at a “drug-fuelled swingers party” with a married couple, American citizen Alexander Amado Johnson and his Indonesian wife Luna, the trio returning to an apartment on the 20th floor about 5am.
Ivana, who had lived in Malaysia for 13 years, reportedly sent her boyfriend a selfie with Luna about 7.30am. She was dead by 10am, but her body was not found until 3pm.
Police have ruled out foul play but the young woman’s family are suspicious, claiming she had marks and bruises on her neck that looked “like fingerprints”.
“I saw bruises on her neck, like fingerprints – as if someone had grabbed her there,” her father Marcel Smit told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.
An autopsy revealed she had traces of ecstasy and alcohol in her system at the time.
