SHAH ALAM: Police are tracking down a man believed to have confined and sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy in an apartment in Bukit Kemuning, Section 32, here, on Tuesday (May 12).
Shah Alam police chief ACP Ramsay Embol said that investigations found that the suspect is believed to have deceived the victim by offering to buy the teenager a mobile phone internet package if he helped the man lift items at his house.
