A nurse was forced into a year-long sexual relationship with a 24-year-old man from the East Coast because she was threatened with her own nude pictures. The two had known each other from three years ago and were sexually involved since 2007.

It is believed that the man is engaged with another woman chosen by his family.

The man would travel from the East Coast to meet the nurse at her house in Setapak and at the hospital where she worked. On Thursday, he was detained by the police when he reached the house.

Police seized a nude picture of the nurse that was taken in 2007 when the couple went to the East Coast for a vacation. In her police report on 24 February 2009, she claimed that he had threatened to distribute the nude picture if she did not have sex with him.

The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.

An incident with her Indonesian maid in a Sri Mahsuri apartment in Air Itam resulted in fractured skull and 100 stitches all over her body, a 42-year-old factory worker claimed.

Phang Kian Huang alleged that her 20-year-old maid, known as Hanni, assaulted her with a wooden stool, a knife and a mortar on Thursday at 11am while she was sleeping. The first time Hanni used the stool and then returned from the kitchen with a knife and slashed Phang. Fearing that Hanni might return the third time, Phang tried to play dead but was hit with the mortar.

Phang was later sent to the Penang Hospital by neighbours. She suffered a fractured skull and her left ear almost severed. Doctors had to apply 65 stitches on her head and neck and 20 stitches to her ear and 10 more on both her knees.

During the attack, Hanni told Phang that she was going to kill her and commit suicide later. The maid then left the apartment to pick up Phang’s two children from a kindergarten, as if nothing had happened. Phang managed to get her neighbours’ help to call the kindergarten about the maid.

Later, Hanni had brought Phang’s children home before Phang was sent to the hospital. It is believed that Hanni even caused a mess in the house to make it look as if a robbery had occurred and she told the police that Phang was attacked by robbers.

Phang’s 41-year-old husband, Lim Hee Soon, believed that Hanni acted this way because she was scolded by Phang the day before for not perform her duties as a maid properly.

Police have remanded Hanni for a week to aid investigations. They have taken a statement from Phang at the hospital on Saturday while Lim was summoned to give his statement at the Bandar Paru Air Itam police station on Sunday.

Later, police reclassified the case as attempted murder from voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means under Section 326 of the Penal Code because they suspect that Hanni had the intention to kill her employer using the selected items.

Kuala Lumpur

A one-year-old girl was reportedly sexually abused by one of the babysitter’s sons when the mother of the victim found blood stains on the girl’s private parts. The 20-year-old clerk discovered the blood stains when she was changing the girl’s diapers after returning from the babysitter’s house.

The clerk and her 25-year-old husband, who works as a mechanic, brought the girl to a clinic and was referred to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital where she was hospitalised for three days. The doctor reported that there were penetration wounds on the girl’s private parts and anus but could not tell what was inserted.

The couple’s daughter had been cared for by the babysitter, a family friend, for the past 7 months everyday except Sundays. They went to the Sentul police station on Wednesday but did not want their identities to be revealed.

Their lawyer, Lim Lip Eng, who is also the Segambut MP, said that the police were slow in investigating the case and would be sending the parents for counselling for the trauma they experienced.
