A 37-year-old transvestite was found strangled to death in his Jalan Sungai flat on Thursday. His body was found lying upwards with his hands and legs bound with wires, and had bruises on his forehead and body.

Roslan Abdul Rahim had breast implants but has been saving money for a sex-change surgery.

Police have arrested a 42-year-old man in Balik Pulau yesterday at 1:30am, who was found with the victim’s bank book.

There were no signs of forced entry but the flat was ransacked, suggesting a robbery may have also taken place. Post-mortem results showed that Roslan was hit with a blunt object before he was suffocated with a pillow.

Police believe the motive of the murder was jealousy.

A 22-year-old Bangladeshi tenant was caught raping a 5-year-old girl by an Indonesian cleaner who was sweeping the 10th floor of the Intan Baiduri flat on 5 November 2007. The cleaner later reported the matter to the girl’s parents, who brought her to the University Malaya Medical Centre for a checkup.

It was determined that the girl was raped several times since 13 October 2007. After the parents have lodged a report at the Sungei Way police station, the suspect has gone missing.

He has been renting a room from the parents for the past year and entered the country on a student pass.

Police are now looking for Siraju Islam Siju, who works as a security guard at a crematorium, to assist in their investigations.

On Wednesday in the court trial of murder victim Altantuya Shaariibuu, senior forensics digital analyst Mohd Zabri Aidil Talib said that 12 images where extracted from the Kota Damansara toll plaza closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) showing accused Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar’s 4WD vehicle.

The CCTV footage was captured on a tape which was given to him by investigating officer ASP Tonny Lunggan on 11 June 2006. 28-year-old Mohd Zabri said Lunggan asked him to trace the vehicle using four time stamps. The times were between 7:14am 19 October 2006 to 12:01am 20 October 2006. The timings were based on Azhar’s Touch ‘n Go card records.

Mohd Zabri said he could not find Azhar’s vehicle at those times but found them slightly off. He said the vehicle captured was a Suzuki Jimny with the registration number CAC1883.

Hearing continues on Monday.
