SHAH ALAM, July 9 — A Pakistani man suspected of sexually assaulting several boys in Section 27 and Section 28 has been arrested in Kuala Nerang, Kedah.
Shah Alam police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said the 25-year-old suspect, linked to four cases involving male victims aged nine, 13, 14, and 19, was caught yesterday in Durian Burung, Kuala Nerang, while allegedly trying to flee to a neighbouring country.
Another Pakistani man believed to have helped the suspect evade arrest was also detained.
“Two of the cases are being investigated under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, and the remaining two under Section 377C of the Penal Code for committing unnatural sex,” he said in a statement today.
Iqbal added that the police would seek a remand order for both suspects to assist the ongoing investigation.
He also urged anyone with information to contact Investigating Officer Insp Siti Mahanira Mahat at 017-6444895.
