Police identify suspect in Petaling Jaya sodomy case

PETALING JAYA: Police have identified the suspect who allegedly sodomised a foreigner at a condominium in Sea Park here.

District police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar said efforts were underway to track down the suspect and arrest him.

"The suspect has been identified as a local man in his 30s," he said today.

He said this case was not connected to the sodomy case in Sungai Way.

"For that case, we have completed the probe. The investigation paper has been referred to the Legal Division for further instruction.

"Once we get feedback from the department, the investigation paper will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor's office."

A foreign national claimed he was sodomised at a condominium here after accepting the suspect's invitation for a chat on Thursday.

The victim said he met the suspect several months ago at the condominium's gym.

He said he was talking to the suspect at the corridor before entering the latter's unit.

After entering the unit, the victim claimed the suspect began undressing him and groping his private parts.

The victim said he did not scream as he did not want the neighbours to hear or see anything that would humiliate him.

He claimed that the suspect sodomised him.

In the other case, a 24-year-old man claimed he was sodomised by a tattoo artist on June 25.

The victim said he went to the tattoo artist's premises to get a tattoo.

He claimed that he lost consciousness as the tattoo artist was working on him.

He claimed that the suspect drew a flower on his arm, then wiped the arm with an oily substance that caused him to pass out.

When the victim regained consciousness, he found himself naked.

He believed he was sodomised and lodged a police report before seeking medical treatment.

A 37-year-old suspect was later arrested.
