13 held in Malaysia over gang rape
Print Edition
MALAYSIAN police have detained 13 men and are looking for other suspects following allegations that a 15-year-old girl was raped by 38 men in an abandoned hut, media said yesterday.
Astro Awani TV and The Star daily reported that the assault took place in the northern state of Kelantan on May 20 when the girl met a girlfriend and was lured to an empty hut reported to be a local drug haunt.
The men took turns to rape her for hours. Police were also investigating whether her 17-year-old friend was also raped.
The alleged attack sparked outrage among women’s groups. Politicians from a Muslim party running the region said their proposal to introduce Islamic hudud law, with harsh penalties, would deter offenders.
Media accounts, quoting information from district police chief Azham Otham, said 38 men were involved.
Several of those detained had tested positive for amphetamine.
Police said action could have been taken had villagers reported the addicts’ presence.
“It is very disturbing to me that no one in the village was even suspicious when the closest neighbor was a mere 20 meters away,” police chief Azham told The Star.
