SHAH ALAM: A housewife was raped by one of three burglars who broke into her house in Kampung Rantau Panjang, Klang on Wednesday.
The 4am incident happened when the 34-year-old victim was sleeping alone in the bedroom. Her husband and their 4-year-old son were asleep in the living room.
Klang Utara district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the suspect, armed with a knife, had woken up the victim and told her not to make any noise.
"The suspect then asked the victim to surrender her jewellery, to which she told him that she had pawned all of it. The woman then gave him her handbag and the robber only took RM50 and her Samsung Note 3 smartphone.
"Initial investigation revealed that the burglar, believed to be an Indonesian, had threatened the victim with his knife and ordered her to satisfy him sexually with her hand. He then decided to rape her instead," he said.
Yusoff said the victim was afraid to scream for help after the suspect told her that he had two accomplices outside the room and that they would kill her family if she retaliated.
He said she then related the incident after the suspects left, around 4.30am.
"Checks at the scene revealed that the suspects had entered the house via a window, and fled through the backdoor.
"The burglars also took the husband's wallet that contained RM300, bank cards and a driving licence, among others," he said.
Yusoff said the suspect was described as plump and about 166cm in height. He was wearing a long-sleeve striped shirt and a pair of shorts. His face was covered with a black cloth.
The victim told police that she noticed that the suspect had three studs on his privates.
Meanwhile, Yusoff said the police Forensics Unit at the scene retrieved a pair of shorts with flowery pattern stained with what they believed to be the suspect's semen, seven strands of hair, and 13 sets of fingerprints.
"We have launched a manhunt to track them down and the victim had been sent to the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang for further checks."
The case is being investigated under Section 376 and 395/397 of the Penal Code.
