KUALA LUMPUR: A man who was being hunted since last week to help investigate a case of multiple rapes was finally arrested by the police in Wangsa Maju on Saturday.
Chief Assistant Director of the Bukit Aman Sexual, Women and Children Investigation Division (D11), Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan said the man involved, who is also the victim's brother-in-law, was arrested at 11.30pm.
"The suspect is now remanded for six days for investigation under Section 375(B) of the Penal Code.
"The police are now actively tracking four more suspects who are still at large," he told Sinar Harian on Tuesday.
The media previously reported that a 27-year-old woman was raped by five men at her home in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur at 3.30am last Wednesday.
The sleeping victim woke up when her hands were tied by the suspect before she was raped in turn.
After raping the victim, all the suspects fled.
The victim then came forward to make a police report at Wangsa Maju Police Station.
