JOHOR BARU, Jan 7 — 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 last 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.
“They claimed to be policemen and pushed him back into the unit. Two of the suspects punched the victim before ordering him to go into one of the rooms in the flat.
“They ransacked the flat and stripped the carpenter naked before escaping with five cellphones, various currencies worth RM10,000 and jewellery worth RM4,000,” he added. — Bernama
