Suspected sex offender nabbed


SHAH ALAM: A 25-year-old suspected Pakistani serial sex fiend attempted to evade arrest by fleeing the country, but his effort was thwarted.

Police nabbed the suspect at Kuala Nerang, Kedah, just as he was about to cross the border.

OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said the 25-year-old main suspect was detained on Tuesday along with a fellow countryman.

“The accomplice assisted the main suspect by hiding him from being tracked down by police.

“We are investigating the case under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 and Section 377C of the Penal Code,” he said when contacted.

ACP Mohd Iqbal said both suspects would be remanded to assist investigations following four police reports lodged involving a serial sodomiser in Section 27 and 28, Shah Alam, since April.
