CHUKAI, August 9 — Three Myanmar refugee men, aged between 19 and 28, were arrested by Kemaman district police in connection with a sexual offence case involving an intellectually disabled woman, according to Supt Mohd Razi Mohd Rosli. The suspects, who work as construction and cleaning workers, were apprehended after receiving a report from a 20-year-old woman on Friday.
They have been remanded from August 8 to 12 to help with the investigation, which is ongoing to uncover any additional suspects. The case is being probed under Section 376 of the Penal Code. Police are taking special care in handling the investigation due to the victim's condition, requesting additional time and precision. Additionally, a video showing a crowd gathering in front of Kampung Enjin Gergaji Flats following the allegations surfaced on TikTok around 8:30 pm yesterday.
The public is cautioned against jumping to conclusions, as the case remains under police investigation. The community is advised not to make hasty judgments against Rohingya refugees, which could result in criminal acts. Anyone with relevant information can reach out to any nearby police station or call 09-859 2222 to speak with the investigating officer, Inspector Mohd Hadaza Mat Amin.
