A 24-year-old security guard in Penang has been arrested by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) on suspicion of raping a female Australian tourist.
The suspect, who has eight prior criminal records, will be remanded for six days to assist with the investigation.
According to a report by Sin Chew Daily, the 21-year-old victim said she had been drinking at a bar with a male friend from England. The friend later complained of a headache, which is when the suspect approached them.
He offered to take both of them to the hospital but allegedly abandoned the Englishman halfway.
The suspect then took the victim to another location, where he is accused of sexually assaulting her.
Following a police report, the suspect was arrested yesterday (June 28) at around 8:55 pm. The case is currently being investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code for rape.
