Revelations of abuse lead to arrest: Melaka security guard suspected of raping daughters remanded in custody for seven days until September 5

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 – A 39-year-old security guard suspected of raping and sexually abusing his two biological daughters at a house in Durian Tunggal over a period of six years has been remanded in custody for seven days until Sept 5 after his arrest by Melaka police.

Melaka Deputy Police Commissioner Datuk Md Nazri Nawawi said the suspect's actions were uncovered when the 14-year-old victim confided in a classmate, who then informed a teacher, according to a report by the Malay news portal. Malaysia Tourism Today.

The teacher called the victim for further questions, but the victim initially denied having any problems at home.

“The victim eventually admitted to being raped by her biological father after her teacher pressed for more information. The first incident occurred in July when the victim was at home and her father asked her to massage his legs.

“A few weeks later, the victim's father repeated the heinous act after she returned from school. He instructed her to take a shower before entering his room,” he said.

Md Nazri added that this revelation led to a confession from the victim's 18-year-old sister, who also admitted to being sexually abused by the suspect since 2018.

“The perpetrator physically abused the older sister from the age of twelve and raped her several times from the age of 14. After she attended a vocational school at the age of 16, the perpetrator continued the physical sexual assaults.

“She didn't tell anyone about the incidents until she found out that her younger sister had also been a victim,” he explained.

The arrest warrant, which is valid until September 5, allows for further investigations under Section 376 (3) of the Criminal Code for incest.
