DUNGUN: Buying jewelleries from her employer's son-in-law turned out to be a bad decision for a 37-year-old maid when the man returned to rob and rape her in an incident in Kampung Balai Besar here last Saturday.

Terengganu Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner K Manoharan said the victim was home alone at her employer's house at 5am when she heard someone knocking at the door several times.
When the woman did not open the door, he said the 25-year old suspect armed with a parang, kicked it open and robbed her of the gold chain and bracelet which he had sold to her a few days earlier.
He said the man then gagged and tied her up before raping her.
The victim later lodged a report at Dungun police station and the suspect from Kuala Abang was detained the same day.
Manoharan said initial investigation revealed the man had stolen the jewelleries and also tested positive for methamphetamine.
He said the man was held under remand.
