Putrajaya

Two boys aged 7 and 8 years were found to have been stealing valuables from government staff quarters in Putrajaya for a period of six months. They skipped school and broke into 26 apartments stealing cash, shoes, mobile phones, caps, a gaming console and a watch.

Police said the boys attended the same school and live in the same place as the victims’ apartments in Section 8. It is learnt that they would find keys hidden in the residents’ shoes and pots near their entrances. Some residents did not even lock their homes, thinking it was safe in Putrajaya.

The boys even used the stolen cash to buy shoes and a radio-controlled car.

Their thieving spree came to an end when the father of their friend reported the matter on 27 October. However, none of the victims came forward to lodge police reports against the boys.

The police instead informed the boys’ parents and school, as well as referring the case to the Welfare Department.

21 Ugandan women aged between 18 and 42 years were found to be forced into prostitution here and in China by a major sex slave syndicate and was busted by police on Friday.

The women were locked up in four apartment units in Mentari Court, Bandar Sunway, from where they worked as prostitutes for 10 hours daily for the past three months. They were believed to have been lured from Kampala with job offers to work in hotels or as maids, or to study in colleges here. The syndicate even offered the women free travel documents and flights.

Customers paid RM300 for their services and if the women refused they would be beaten and raped by the syndicate members.

It is believed that the syndicate placed a debt bondage of US$7000 one each of the victims. Although many of them had already worked enough to pay off the debts, the syndicate members would lie to them about the debts to prevent them from leaving.

One of the Ugandan women reported her ordeal to an embassy officer who went undercover as a customer and met the 20-year-old. Later, police monitored the apartment for two weeks before they launched the raid at 10:30am and arrested two female suspects in their 40s.

The victims were transferred to a welfare home and are expected to be deported later pending completion of investigations.

52-year-old Teoh Lay Moi was hit and dragged by her car which was hijacked by two men for 55 metres at her house in Jalan Kapar here. The incident occurred around 7:15pm when the victim, a finance executive, was parking her Toyota Altis vehicle after returning from work.

Teoh’s husband, Koh Siew Ming, and her son rushed out from their house when Teoh was screaming for help outside. They saw two men attempting to drive away Teoh’s car. Teoh had tried to block their way but one of the suspects reversed the car, hit and dragged her along the road. It is believed that the men were waiting to ambush Teoh.

After the suspects had drived the car away, Koh rushed his wife to the hospital but she died shortly upon arrival.

Police say they that the two men are now wanted and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

Police have remanded a 37-year-old stepfather of a six-year-old boy in Kampung Padang Sebang, Alor Gajah for a week, on suspicion of physical abuse on the child.

The post-mortem carried out at the Malacca Hospital showed that the boy sustained serious injuries to his lungs, bleeding underneath his skin and scratches possibly caused by a blunt object.

The suspect had brought the victim to the Alor Gajah Hospital on Monday at 4:30pm but died shortly after receiving treatment there. The boy was the youngest of six children belonging to his mother’s first marriage.

The stepfather was arrested on the spot and is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries the death sentence upon conviction.

At 9:45AM yesterday, five armed men ambushed and hijacked a security van that contained RM1.9 million.

The incident occurred at a Petronas petrol station in Ijok where two of the four security guards were delivering cash to the ATM inside. A Proton Perdana car stopped near them and ordered the van driver to get out of the vehicle while the two guards were putting RM200,000 into the ATM.

Police were alerted and later found both vehicles empty and on fire near Kampung Harmoni. The suspects’ car is believed to have been stolen from the Tourism Ministry.

IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the public can depend on his police force as he reminds them that their job is to protect and assist the public and to behave themselves at all times.

He said 7,402 officers who were previously assigned for office duties have been deployed to the ground to do patrol duties since January this year. Assistant Superintendents and Inspectors are doing investigative work and over 5,000 lower rank officers are performing patrol duties and intelligence gathering.

This re-deployment exercise conceived by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak targets to achieve a police to population ratio of 1:300 from the existing 1:500 figure.

7,000 more have been deployed to work at 14 police contingents covering 147 district police headquarters and 757 police stations across the nation. 500 people will be recruited as sergeants who will do police investigations only.

Musa said with the larger police presence, the public feels safe when they go out and can expect cases to be resolved faster.

A newborn baby girl was found alive and had her umbilical cord still attached when she was left in a milk box at a bus stop along Jalan Air Hitam-Johor Baru near SMK Munsyi Abdullah yesterday morning. The baby died 30 minutes later at the Kulai Hospital after a passerby rushed her there.

40-year-old labourer Zulkifli Samsi, father of three, was nearby at 4:50am when he saw a man behaving suspiciously, left a box on the bus stop seat and took off in a Proton Wira vehicle.

When Zulkifli examined the contents of the box, he was surprised to find the baby with her fingers moving. Although he managed to rush the baby to the hospital, the doctors who received her said she was hardly breathing and pronounced her dead at 5:30am.

Kulaijaya police chief Zulkefly Yahya urged those with information on the baby or the man to contact the Kulaijaya district police headquarters at 07-6637222 or the Johor police hotline at 07-2212999.

Mohamad Zamri Ibrahim, a cloth merchant, and his brother-in-law Mohd Suhaimi Yusoff were awarded RM41,500 and RM31,500 respectively in damages at the Sessions Court on Thursday for wrongful arrest. They were detained in connection with the murder case of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin three years ago.

36-year-old Mohamad Zamri and 31-year-old Mohd Suhaimi filed suit on 19 June 2009 with ASP Loh Pei Pei, the Inspector general of Police and the government as defendants. They claimed that after their arrests, they were hit, stepped on, kicked and bashed up by the police before they were questioned. As a result, they claimed that they injuries, stress, odium and contempt.

Judge Sabariah Othman awarded the damages after reviewing the submissions by defence counsellor Azmer Md Saad, who represented the two men.

Sabariah said Mohamad Zamri was awarded the damages based on a police testimony that he was not the suspect in the case. It was ruled that his arrest was wrongful and without reasonable grounds. Mohd Suhaimi was awarded RM31,500 in damages because there were reasonable grounds for his arrest, Sabariah said.

The victim was five years old when her father started molesting and raping her until she was 16 years old. The 42-year-old man’s actions were finally brought to justice when he was sentenced to 20 years of jail time and 6 strokes of the cane.

Mohd Yani was charged with raping his daughter at their Taman Sri Pandan home on 25 April 2007 at about 5:30pm. The previous sentence of 12 years’ jail and 3 strokes of the cane made last year was appealed. DPP Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan asked for the heavier sentence as there were reports from the victim’s school counseller that she had suffered trauma as a result of her father’s misdeeds.

Under Section 376B of the Penal Code, high court judge Rosilah Yop then sentenced Mohd Yani up to the maximum sentence possible for his offence.
