> Robbed, raped after stopping to help

KAJANG: A trip to a friend’s house in Bandar Mahkota Cheras turned into a nightmare for a couple after they were robbed at knife point and the woman raped. The couple was driving to visit their friend when they noticed two men by the roadside waving for assistance about 10pm on Thursday.

The 26-year-old man stopped the car to ask how he could help. One of the two men, believed to be Indonesians, threatened him with a knife.

They got into the car and ordered him to drive to a deserted area 300 metres away.

Six other men were waiting there. The man and his girlfriend were ordered to get down from the car and hand over their personal belongings.

As they did so, the man ran and escaped the robbers. Upon reaching the nearest house, he borrowed a phone and called the police. During this time, the girlfriend, a 24-year-old China national, was dragged into a forest by two men who took turns to rape her.

A police patrol car responded to the man’s call and took him back to the scene of the incident. There, they arrested a man and rescued the traumatised girlfriend.
