A 35-year-old woman was on her way to work as usual at a factory in Klang. The mother of seven was walking to work when a car stopped in front of her. A man, who pretended to be looking into his car bonnet sudden ran towards her and dragged her into the car with three other men waiting.
She was taken a secluded area where she was beaten, raped and forced to perform oral sex on them. After they were done, one of the attackers inserted a twig into her privates before leaving her in pain.
Just recently, the assailants were caught and found guilty for their heinous crime and were jailed for 28 years each and will be ordered to be whipped by a total of 48 strokes of the rogan.
Sessions Court judge Ahmad Fairus Mohd Puzi sentenced Y. Gajehindran, 26, J. Malvin Isaac, 24, and P. Aravinthiran, 22, for committing the offences in various places in Klang between 6.45am and 8.30am on Feb 11, 2010.
Gajehindran, an accounts executive, and Aravinthiran, a college student, were charged with raping and forcing the victim to perform oral sex in the bushes along Jalan Kebun Nenas 2H/KS7 in Bandar Putera Klang. Malvin Isaac, who worked in a courier service company, was charged with raping the same victim, forcing her to perform oral sex on him and with inserting a twig into her private parts.
There were initially four men charged, but one of them turned into a prosecution witness and testified against them.
The victim gave an impact state in tears and explained how the incident has left her traumatized:
‘I did not dare leave my house for more than a year, afraid that they would come back and catch me again. I could not sleep for six months and I am still taking anti-depressant medication”.
The victim also said the incident has affected their marriage too as she’s afraid to be with her husband intimately. She says that she feels ashamed and afraid to even leave the house.
“Why did this have to happen to me? They were so inhumane and acted as if I was not a human being”. (Source)
