誘拐された少女、救助される

ミリ：先週末、20代で無職の男性が16歳の女の子を誘拐したが、翌日の日曜日に誘拐された女の子は救助され容疑者は逮捕された。容疑者は女の子に恋をしていたが彼女の親は無職だということもあり、反対されていた。少女誘拐後、容疑者は少女を売春店に売ると相手の親に話し現金を要求したが、結局警察に出頭したという。火曜日、警察の取調べで容疑者は誘拐をしたわけではなく被疑者の彼氏であり一緒に居ただけだと供述した。しかし被疑者を強引に連れ出し、彼女の親から現金を要求したことから立派な身代金を目的とした誘拐罪であるとミリ警察署長のアバン・アビドゥラ・アバン氏は話した。同日に被害者は自宅に戻り家族と再会を果たした。

‘Kidnapped’ ‘girl rescued

MIRI: He was head over heels in love with a 16-year-old girl. But he was jobless and her family did not approve of him.

So the man, in his 20s, “kidnapped” the girl and bundled her on board a cargo vessel which arrived in peninsular Malaysia over the weekend.

He then threatened her family that he would sell her into prostitution if they did not pay him money.

Police rescued the girl in Kuala Lumpur last Sunday and the man, who apparently got wind that the police were on the case, returned here and was arrested the same day.

On Tuesday, the girl, a Form Four student, was flown here and reunited with her family.

Miri police chief Asst Comm Abang Abdillah Abang Othman said:

“Now that the suspect has been arrested and the victim rescued I can confirm the incident.

“From our initial investigations, the suspect was said to be her (victim’s) ‘boyfriend’. He was interested in her, but somehow things did not work out for him.

“Because he had taken her away forcefully and demanded money from her family, this is considered an act of kidnapping for ransom.”

ACP Abdillah said the girl's parents alerted police after they received the call from the man.

“Police in Kuala Lumpur managed to track her whereabouts and rescue her. At the same time, we (Miri police) found that the ‘boyfriend’ had returned to Miri. We arrested him,” he said.

This is the second success for police in recent days.

On Monday, seven men were arrested here over the kidnapping of a timber camp manager. He was rescued unharmed at Miri Airport.
