Two rape incidents in Johor Baru, just six hours apart
By FARIK ZOLKEPLI
JOHOR BARU: A schoolgirl was raped by four men and another by a
bogus policeman in two separate incidents within a six-hour
period.
In the first incident, a 16-year-old schoolgirl who had quarrelled
with her boyfriend went to calm her feelings at a lake in Taman
Tasik Dahlia, Pasir Gudang, at about 12.30am here yesterday.
Four malay men on motorcycles turned up, started harassing her and
forced her on to one of the motorcycles.
They then took her to a secluded area near some factories in
Tanjung Langsat and took turns to rape her.
After that, they dropped her off at the lake and fled.
The victim flagged down a taxi to get home and later lodged a
police report.
A police source said they are looking for the men aged between 20
and 30.
In the second incident, a 14-year-old schoolgirl and her
13-year-old brother were waiting for the school bus in Tampoi at
6.30am yesterday when a malay man drove up to them and identified
himself as a policeman.
He told them to get into his car and demanded their MyKads.
When they could not produce the cards, the man took the siblings
back to their house in Taman Johor.
However, when the girls brother went inside to get the
identification cards, he sped off with the girl.
The man took the girl to a secluded area in Technology Park in
Senai and raped her and left.
The girl managed to hail passers-by who took her home.
She lodged a report at the Tampoi police station at 9.30am, and was
sent to Sultanah Aminah Hospital for a medical check-up.
Police urged anyone with information on both cases to contact the
police hotline at 07-221-2999 or the nearest police station.
Serious crime appears to be on the upswing.
On June 12, three malay men raped a 19-year-old girl and forced her
22-year-old boyfriend to watch.
The following day, a group of armed malay men took a couple on a
terror ride before raping the 35-year-old woman in the presence of
her friend, who was slashed.
On Monday, an unemployed man and his seven-month pregnant wife were
found murdered in their home in Taman Desa Anggerik in
Seremban.
