Man arrested for alleged rape of 11-year-old sister

A 27-year-old man is in the Simpang Tiga police lock-up to help in an investigation into an alleged rape case. 

His remand on Tuesday came following a report lodged by his 11-year-old sister who told police that her brother had raped her on four occasions — three times last year and on April 7.

The girl, accompanied by her mother when she made the report, said in the April 7 incident, her brother brought her to a goat breeding ground in Jalan Matang at around 1pm.

She said her brother threatened her to keep silent but because she could no longer stand the ordeal, she summoned enough courage to tell her mother.

Police swiftly acted on the report, going to the suspect’s work place and had him arrested around noon. The suspect insisted that he had been falsely accused, but a medical check conducted on the girl confirmed there had been penetration.
