All four claim trial to kidnapping Xiong Xi Qiao with the intention of secretly and wrongfully confining her at a house in Alor Setar.
On August 7, four Chinese nationals entered a Chinese court in Alor Setar, Malaysia, to plead not guilty to kidnapping a compatriot named Xiong Xi Qiao. The charges were filed by prosecutors, who allege the defendants, Huang Jian, Wang Hao Yu, Guan Siqi, and Liu Tingjun, intended to secretly and wrongfully confine the victim at a house in Taman Amira, Jalan Langgar.
The four men and one woman, aged between 24 and 46, were charged under Section 365 of the Penal Code, alongside Section 34, which carries a maximum seven-year imprisonment and fine upon conviction. The court denied their bail request and set October 11 for the next court appearance.
