JOHOR BARU: Two girls, one 15 years old and the other 16, yesterday
became the latest victims in a rash of brutal rapes over the past
two months.
In the first incident, a 16-year-old was abducted by four men on
motorcycles from a park in Taman Tasik Dahlia about 1am.
The men, in their 20s and 30s, took her to a secluded spot at
Tanjung Langsat, some 20km away, where they took turns to rape
her.
They then sent her back to the park, where she caught a taxi and
went home.
She lodged a report the next morning, police said.
About five-and-a-half hours later in Senai, the 15-year-old was
taken to the sewerage treatment plant in Taman Teknologi Skudai and
brutally raped.
The Form Three student and her 13-year-old brother were waiting in
Jalan Ledang for their bus to school when a man claiming to be a
police officer stopped and asked for their identity cards.
When the pair told him they had left them at home, he told them to
get in the car to go to collect them.
During the drive, the suspect, in his 30s, began asking the girl
inappropriate questions about herself.
When they arrived at the childrens Tampoi home, he told her
brother to go into the house and get the ICs. He then sped off with
the girl.
At the plant, he held a knife to her neck and brutally raped her.
Her school uniform was ripped off and she was slapped, punched and
bitten.
After forcing himself on her, the man gave her his jeans and
T-shirt and took off, said police.
The girl was picked up by two women on the main road who took her
home after calling her mother on a mobile phone.
It is learnt that the girls mother had called the school to check
whether her daughter was there.
It is said the teacher took more than half-an-hour to call the
mother back.
And when it became clear the girl was missing, the teacher did not
immediately call the police, but went to the girls home to ask for
more information.
A police report was lodged at the Tampoi police station several
hours later.
The girl said the man had curly hair and tanned skin.
The two rapes come on the back of a demonstration on Sunday, in
which residents voiced their anger over a rash of robberies and
gang rapes over the past two months.
In response, police have said the public should alert them to
suspicious behaviour or crimes through their hotlines or via text
messaging.
