Cops: Dead girl found in apartment unit not raped

PETALING JAYA: A teenager, whose body was found clad in a bra and panties at an apartment unit in Damansara Damai last week, was not raped.

Selangor deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Abd Rahim Jaafar said a post-mortem on victim K. Shanmugavalli (pic), 18, showed no signs of rape.

“We are still investigating the motive behind the murders of the girl and her Indian national boyfriend,” he said when contacted yesterday.

The victims had reportedly died about six days before a debt collector discovered their bodies at the apartment unit on Dec 18.

The man, identified as Mohinder Pal, 24, had seven stab wounds and was found in the living room, while the girl was found on a bed in the master bedroom with five stab wounds in the abdomen.

DCP Abdul Rahim said the cause of their deaths were severe stab wounds that led to severe loss of blood.

“We are not ruling out any possibility on what may have transpired that led to the murders.

“There was no sign of a break-in besides the lock broken by the debt collector. None of the victims’ possessions were missing,” he said.

It is learnt that the girl had been missing from home since Dec 13. Her family had lodged a report at the Puchong police station.

In a separate case, DCP Abdul Rahim said police have detained two remaining members of Gang Sasi, who had been involved in house-break-ins and theft of luxury cars in Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Johor.

They were arrested in Kajang a day after the alleged leader K. Sasitaran, 29, was shot dead.

An Ops Cantas Khas team from Serdang had tracked down Sasitaran and an accomplice, who were in a white Honda Odyssey at about 5.15pm on Dec 18 along Jalan Reko, Kajang.

“We believe their reign of terror has ended,” said DCP Abdul Rahman.

Model found dead in drain

24 November 2013

SEREMBAN: The woman who was found dead in a drain in Taman Seruling Jaya, Labu, here, on Friday has been identified as Cheok Hui Min, a part-time model in Kuala Lumpur.

The 22-year-old, from Ampang, had also participated in a beauty pageant organised by a Chinese daily here earlier this year.

The victim's father, who requested anonymity, said he spoke to his youngest daughter last week.

He said after his divorce, Cheok lived with his ex-wife in Ampang, while he stayed in Lukut, Port Dickson.

"I rushed to Tuanku Jaafar Hospital after police contacted me on Friday. I believe my daughter was killed somewhere else before her body was thrown into the drain.

"The police did not find any identification card and her purse was nowhere to be found at the scene."

Cheok was found in a drain by a couple who were jogging in the area at 7.30am. Based on the bruises on her neck and body, it is believed that she was choked before being thrown into the drain.

Seremban police chief Assistant Commissioner Zainal Abu confirmed the case and said police were waiting for a post-mortem report to determine the cause of death.

Guard dies from injuries after week-long coma

December 12, 2013

KUALA LUMPUR: A security guard, beaten by two Myanmar nationals who had picked mangoes from a tree outside his workplace in Hulu Klang, died after a week-long coma.

Mohd Raini Mohamed Junus, 52, was warde­d at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre after he was knocked unconscious in Jalan Sepadu at about 4.45pm on Dec 5.

He was said to have tried to stop the two foreigners from plucking the fruits from the tree, about 10m from where he worked.

Mohd Raini was unhappy with the two, who would pluck the mangoes in large quantities to sell them.

Accompanied by his nephew Mohd Khasrol Hasnan, 27, he told the duo off. However, the men started beating Mohd Raini and his nephe­w with sticks. Mohd Khasrol suffered a broken left arm but his uncle blacked out.

Mohd Raini died on Tuesday evening.

Brickfields OCPD Deputy Supt Aida Abdul Hamid said: “We have arrested a suspect.”

Victim’s siblings found dead

ALOR STAR (Dec 1, 2013): The two missing siblings of a 14-year-old girl, who was found dead on Saturday, were also found dead this afternoon.

Kedah police chief Datuk Ahmad Ibrahim told reporters that the remains of Nur Izzati Husna, 12, and Puteri Nurul Akma, aged three, were found by a group of anglers near a river at Kampung Padang Tani, Alor Semela at about 4pm.

He dismissed speculations that Noor Syafikah Nadia Rusdi, whose semi-nude body was discovered at a paddy field at Alor Senibong, about 12km from Alor Semela, had been raped and murdered.

"The post-mortem conducted on the teenager revealed no signs of rape or murder and that her death was due to drowning," he said.

Nevertheless, police would investigate the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code, he said.

According to Ahmad, the deaths of Nur Izzati Husna and Puteri Nurul Akma, who were fully clothed when found, could not be due to normal drowning as their bodies were found at separate locations at the river.

He said the post-mortem on them would be conducted as soon as possible.

In the report lodged by their mother, the victims had left their home at Jalan Datuk Kumbar on Friday at around 7.30pm on a motorcycle.

Ahmad said the motorcycle had been located, locked and in good condition at the Sekolah Kebangsaan Gelam bus stand. Police also found a pair of trousers near Nur Izzati's body. –Bernama
