The body of political aide Teoh Beng Hock was exhumed today in a sombre ceremony at the Nirvana Memorial Park in Semenyih, Selangor.

Following several Taoist rites, workers dug for about an hour before Teoh's coffin was raised at about 10.40am. It was put in a hearse and driven out of the cemetery at about 11.15am after more prayers were conducted and the body disinfected.
