Four male students, who are scheduled to take the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination next month, have been remanded for six days on suspicion of gang-raping a female student at a school here last week.
Melaka Police Chief, Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar, said the remand order for all four 17-year-old suspects was issued by Senior Assistant Registrar S. R. Arthana at the Ayer Keroh Magistrate’s Court to assist with the investigation.
“The remand for all suspects begins today until October 16, and the case is being investigated under Section 375B of the Penal Code for gang-rape. The case, which involves a 15-year-old victim, is still under further police investigation,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
Previously, the media reported that the gang-rape occurred around 2:50 PM on October 2 in a classroom at a school in Alor Gajah, and the act was recorded on a mobile phone by two of the suspects.
The incident came to light after the victim’s mother received information about the video’s circulation from a school teacher before lodging a police report.This response is more helpful
