Mum and daughters made healer's sex slaves

A TRADITIONAL healer in Pahang raped three women and their mother under the guise of bringing religious knowledge to them, Berita Harian reported.

The suspect first preyed on the mother, leading her to his house where he allegedly cast a spell on the woman in her 50s before sexually assaulting her.

He then told her he wanted to go to her house to pass on some religious material to her three daughters, in their 20s and 30s.

'The woman, apparently not conscious of what she was doing, followed his every bidding and brought him to her home near Rompin,' district police chief Deputy Supt Johari Jahaya said, adding that the women became his sex slaves since January.

He said initial investigations showed that one of the daughters had been raped at least seven times by the suspect, who is believed to be practising a deviant religious belief. The case came to light when the husband of one of the victims, who works in Johor Baru, went to look for his wife to find out why she had not returned to their home for several months.

On reaching his mother-in-law's house on March 15, the man saw the four women in a state of trance. The suspect, who was at the house at that time, was overpowered in a scuffle that followed between the two men. -- THE STAR/ANN
