A 20-year-old graphic designer with a local Chinese newspaper was kidnapped and gang-raped near her USJ6 home on Sunday.

After the victim and her younger sister had spent a day at Genting Highlands, four men had been trailing her to her house. When she had parked her car outside of the house, the suspects grabbed her into their car, leaving the younger sister behind.

The victim offered to give the men RM1,000 but they did not accept. Instead, they called the victim’s mother and demanded for another RM4,000. She only deposited RM2,000 into the victim’s bank account.

The victim was released around noon after the suspects had taken turns to rape her.

A 59-year-old fish breeder in Kampung Beris, Marang was found in his home with his throat slit and bruises on his face and head. Murder victim Tan Hai Peng was home alone while his wife Lau Choy Yuet was on vacation.

Some knives and a bloodstained forked spear were found by the police.

Tan’s 33-year-old son Tan Aik Lay said the murder was likely caused by revenge because Tan was threatened by some villagers when he said would lodge a police report against them for stealing some mobile phones. He had lodged three reports on assault and theft in August.

Police have arrested a 30-year-old woodcutter from Kampung Kubur Pengkalan Berangan are looking for a second suspect.
