Bogus cops rob carpenter, gang-rape girlfriend

Victim was robbed of RM20,000 in cash and valuables.

JOHOR BAHARU: Five men posing as policemen robbed a carpenter and his China national girlfriend of about RM20,000 in cash and valuables before gang-raping the woman at a unit of a block of flats in Larkin here Tuesday night.

The 42-year-old carpenter was also assaulted in the incident about 9.20pm.

South Johor Baharu police chief ACP Sulaiman Salleh said initial police investigations revealed the 38-year-old foreigner was forced into a room at the unit where the five took turns to rape her.

He said the China national had a legitimate passport and was unemployed while her husband was in Kuala Lumpur.

“The woman has been sent for medical examination at a hospital,” he said in a statement today.

Sulaiman said the carpenter was leaving the unit when he was confronted by the five men who were armed with sticks.
