18 October 2013

DUNGUN: Buying jewelleries from her employer's son-in-law turned out to be a bad decision for a 37-year-old maid when the man returned to rob and rape her in an incident in Kampung Balai Besar here last Saturday.

Terengganu Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner K Manoharan said the victim was home alone at her employer's house at 5am when she heard someone knocking at the door several times.

 

When the woman did not open the door, he said the 25-year old suspect armed with a parang, kicked it open and robbed her of the gold chain and bracelet which he had sold to her a few days earlier.

 

He said the man then gagged and tied her up before raping her.

 

The victim later lodged a report at Dungun police station and the suspect from Kuala Abang was detained the same day.

 

Manoharan said initial investigation revealed the man had stolen the jewelleries and also tested positive for methamphetamine.

 

He said the man was held under remand.

Family robbed after Malaysia Cup final

ROMPIN: Few hours after celebrating Pahang's success in securing the Malaysia Cup, a family was robbed by four foreigners at their home in Felda Keratong 3 near here today.

In the 4.15am incident, a couple, their 12 children and two  relatives were fast asleep when the robbers, believed to be  Indonesians, broke into their home.

 "I was rudely awakened by one of the robbers who  threatened me with a parang. He asked me and my wife not  to make noise before tying our hands with the handphone  charger cables," he said when met at his home today.

 Helmi said the robbers later ransacked his room before  taking with them three handphones and RM300 cash.

 His sister-in-law Norziana Zainadin, 26, said the robbers  had also entered her room before covering her with a  blanket.

 "Before I could do anything, they had bound me with a rope  and asked me to remain silent," said Norziana who was alone  in the room as her husband was working at that time.

 After the robbers left, Norziana said she managed to let  herself loose and screamed for help.

 "Those who were still sleeping were shocked when they  saw me panicking. They later helped untie Helmi and wife in  their room," said Norziana who is still traumatised by the  incident.

 She said the robbers fled with her RM2,500 cash, jewellery  and four handphones.
