In an official police statement, PDRM in Perak said they received a report from the victim’s mother on October 21.
“Her 15-year-old daughter did not return home after school at 1:30 PM. It turns out that the victim actually went out to see her boyfriend around Batu Gajah area, before meeting another man that she had just met.”
The man then brought the victim to a hostel, where a total of 5 men were waiting.
“The victim was then offered an empty room for her to rest and sleep. The 5 men then took turns entering the room to rape the victim.”
On the night of 22 October, a team of police officers managed to locate the victim at a hostel. She was then brought to the police station, where she said she was raped by all 5 men at the hostel around 10:22 PM on October 21.
The victim then guided the police to the location of the hostel, where the authorities managed to arrest all 5 suspects, aged between 18 and 27, and 2 of the suspects have previous criminal records.
All suspects are being remanded and will be investigated under Section 375B of the Penal Code for gang-raping and if found guilty, they will be facing jail time of not less than 10 years and not more than 30 years.
Dear parents, watch your kids
