The only outsider to see her, U.N. special envoy Razali Ismail, was made to switch cars on his way to their meeting in June, according to a Western diplomat in Bangkok.

The thin, sickly, 18-year-old's corpse was lowered last week into a muddy trench in a village cemetery in Peusangan, in the north of the Indonesian province of Aceh.
