A 25-year-old man suffered injuries to his private parts after he was bitten by a cross-dresser for not paying for the sex service provided.

China Press reported that passers-by saw the man passed out in his car near a commercial centre in Kuching on Friday morning.

Police said the victim suffered in­­juries to his penis and neck and was admitted to the Kuching Hospital.

It is learnt that the man was initially embarrassed when the police tried to record his statement.

Later, he admitted that he had engaged the services of a transvestite inside his car earlier that day but had no money to pay for it.

The victim said the transvestite had bitten his penis and then strangled him with a phone cable, cau­sing him to pass out.

> Four South Korean women were caught for smuggling 30 gold ingots, which they had concealed in their undergarments, to Japan, Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported.

Osaka police said the gold ingots, weighting 1kg each and worth more than US$1mil (RM4.1mil), were kept in “specially modified” bras and corsets.

The women, aged between 20 and 40, were picked up at the airport in Osaka.

“Investigations showed that three of the women were tasked with smuggling the gold ingots while another woman kept an eye on the situation,” a police spokesman said.

However, a customs officer became suspicious when one of the women kept looking down and avoiding eye-contact.

One of the women said they received the ingots from a man at the Incheon International Airport before departing.

They then went to the toilet to hide the gold in their undergarments. They were supposed to get US$500 (RM2,050) for each trip.
