Many say convicted serial rapist Selva still considered ‘a person of high risk’


Serial rapist Selvah Kumar Subbiah is due to be released from prison this month and authorities won’t say whether he’ll be deported to his native Malaysia, or returned to the streets of Toronto.

PETALING JAYA: Convicted serial rapist Selva Kumar Subbiah will be back in the country from Canada in three days and a policeman who knows him says there is no guarantee that he will not strike again.

However, lawyers in Malaysia say there is nothing here to protect Malaysians from the serial criminal. The authorities can only act against him if he commits a crime on Malaysian soil.
