37-year-old Thai Muslim Ramlah Bakar was breastfeeding her 66-day-old baby boy in Kampung Padang Pak Ghani, Tawang, when a neighbour went into her house and attempted to abduct the baby.

According to the police, Ramlah had fought with the suspect as he was stabbing her in the chest, right hand and neck. She was later found dead with a pool of blood at 3pm. Her baby was crying beside Ramlah’s body but was not hurt.

Ramlah’s husband, 52-year-old Che Hassan Mahmod, was at his first wife’s house in Kampung Bekelam, Bachok when the incident happened.

It is believed that the suspect has a criminal record for stealing a motorcycle and police are looking for him.

Two police officers who arrested a transvestite on 23 October 2007 at 2am for allegedly offering sexual services in Kampung Baru have been detained for alleged graft. A 46-year-old assistant superintendent and 48-year-old sergeant were arrested by Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) officers yesterday at 4:15pm.

They had allegedly demanded RM2,000 from the victim as an inducement for them not to take any action. The victim made a report with the ACA. ACA officers prepared a trap for them when the victim was about to hand over the cash to one of them at a police station.
