On the night of Aug 30, 2010, Erni Dekritawati Yuliana Buhari received a call from her mother, Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya, telling her not to let her driver, Kamal, into the house. Sosilawati claimed Kamal had installed a hidden camera in her bathroom and had compromising photos of her.

This phone call would set off a chain of events which would eventually uncover one of the most horrific murder cases in Malaysian history.
