Kurung warga China, 3 lelaki ditahan
Suspek warga Jepun dan Taiwan ditahan selepas mangsa polis menerima aduan daripada mangsa menerusi aplikasi WhatsApp memaklumkan dikurung dalam sebuah rumah.
Police in Manjung have detained three men, including a Japanese national and two Taiwanese nationals, after they were accused of kidnapping a Chinese man under suspicious circumstances in a house in Seri Manjung on Tuesday evening. Manjung District Police Chief Hasbullah Abd Rahman stated that the victim, aged 21, reported being kidnapped via a WhatsApp message around 10:30 PM, claiming they had been held captive in the house.
Police arrived at the scene around 12:15 AM and arrested the three suspects, aged between 21 and 33 years old. "The victim, who was accused of being kidnapped falsely, was also rescued, while initial investigations found the suspect's motive was to prevent the victim from following their instructions," Hasbullah reported in a statement.
All suspects are currently in custody until August 29 for further investigation under Section 342 of the Penal Code and Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1953/63.
