KULAI: An 18-year-old was charged with raping a girl, 15, at Murni Jaya, Layang-Layang, here.
Kulai OCPD Supt Tok Beng Yeow said a 56-year-old woman lodged a police report at 1.30am on May 15 after she heard her teenage daughter scream in pain in the toilet.
“On inspection, she found a foetus inside the toilet bowl. The woman then brought her child and the foetus to Hospital Sultanah Aminah,” he said yesterday.
The post-mortem revealed that the foetus was 28 weeks old, and there were no signs of forced labour or injury to the foetus, he added.
Supt Tok said the victim then claimed she had been raped by a known suspect behind their house.
The police arrested the 18-year-old at 6pm on the same day.
Yesterday, the suspect was charged with rape under Section 376(2) of the Penal Code, at the Sessions Court in Johor Baru.
“He pleaded not guilty and was offered RM15,000 bail with one surety,” said Supt Tok.
The case will be re-mentioned on June 26.
