A lance corporal policeman from Muar and two friends, who both impersonated as policemen, raided a Flora Damansara flat on 8 September 2007 where an Indonesian woman was staying in. There were five other housemates with the woman.

The three men then robbed a man of his mobile phone and some cash when he was not able to produce any travel documents. The woman was abducted to a hotel in Muar where she was locked up. The men and nine others took turns to rape her.

The woman escaped a few days later from the room and made a police report at the Muar police station.

On Friday night, police arrested the three at the hotel room and found the victim in one of the rooms. They will be remanded for six days.

The woman, who was among the five arrested on Thursday, has been released a few hours after police have taken her statement. The men have been remanded for seven days to aid police investigations, one of them is the woman’s husband, a tailor shop owner.

Police raided a shoplot in Section 7, Shah Alam, on Thursday and arrested a few of them in connection with the kidnap and murder of 8-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin. Two of them were arrested in Kampung Kuantan, Klang, on Friday.

The suspects were brought to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday at 9:20am for DNA tests. It is believed that police are trying to find a connection with the suspects and the hair strands found in the sports bag where Nurin’s naked body was found.

The female suspect was said to be pregnant and one of the male suspects is a car salesman.

On Dat 41 of the murder trial of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu, it was learnt that accused Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar had travelled between Kota Damansara and Jalan Duta on 19 October 2006, the day when Altantuya disappeared.

30-year-old Wan Abdullah Wan Ali who works as an operations executive from Rangkaian Segar Sdn Bhd said Azhar’s prepaid toll card, also known as Touch ‘n Go card, was used at 7:14am that day from the Kota Damansara toll to the Jalan Duta toll and returned to Kota Damansara at 6:06pm. At 8:48pm, the card was used to from Kota Damansara to Jalan Duta and again at 9:57pm returning to Kota Damansara. Finally, the card was used at 12:01am the next day from Kota Damansara to Jalan Duta.

Police had requested from Rangkaian Segar for the ownership details of the card on 9 November 2006. Wan Abdullah produced the report the same day for them.

He also said that each toll plaza had a closed circuit television camera.

In previous trial sessions, the court learnt that police had gone through the same toll plazas when they were led to the area in Puncak Alam where Altantuya’s remains were recovered. Azhar’s residential apartment is also in Kota Damansara, where police found Altantuya’s belongings.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Tun Abd Majid Tun Hamzah showed Wan Abdullah photographs from the toll plaza cameras showing a jeep vehicle entering the expressway at the Kota Damansara toll at 7:14:40am and exiting at the Jalan Duta toll at 7:14:47am. Noting the time difference of only seven seconds between the photographs, Wan Abdullah explained that it was possibly caused by the lack of time synchronization between cameras at each toll plaza.

Azhar’s counsel Kamarul Hisham Kamaruddin then asked Wan Abdullah if he agreed that the photograph may not necessarily show the same vehicle that was using Azhar’s Touch ‘n Go card. He agreed, noting that he could not make out the license plate number of the vehicle as well.

The trial continues today.
