Maid bundled into car and gang-raped

Voice of Malaysian, 12 September 2008

GEORGE TOWN [Malaysia]: Five men gang-raped an Indonesian maid after they used chloroform to overpower her in Bukit Dumbar here.

OCPD Azam Abd Hamid said the maid, in her early 20s, was walking along the road on Monday when she was bundled into a car and taken to an unknown place.

“When she woke up a few hours later, she found five masked men standing over her naked body. She was then told to dress up. One of them drove her back to the place where she was abducted.

“The victim subsequently made a report at the Jelutong police station. She was then sent to the Penang Hospital where an examination confirmed that she was raped,” he said yesterday.

In another case, two men were arrested in connection with a RM250,000 goldsmith robbery in Campbell Street on Aug 13.

ACP Azam said the two were nabbed in Kuala Lumpur and handed over to the district police on Tuesday.

“We are still looking for their two accomplices who have been identified. The loot has yet to be recovered,” he said.
