Sexually Assaulted

THEY thought someone had dropped off a bag of books in front of their offi ce in Petaling Jaya Utama.
Instead, the sports bag contained the lifeless and nude body of a girl, aged between six and nine, who had been subjected to unimaginable horror.

A post-mortem at Kuala Lumpur Hospital last night found that she had been brutally assaulted. Traces of brinjal and cucumber were found in her anus and vagina.

The assault was so intense that it ruptured her abdomen, which probably caused her death.

The employee who found the bag, Cheng Yan Fong, 32, thought it contained books and brought it in.

“It was heavy but I thought nothing of it. Then I waited for my boss to arrive before asking him if it was his. That was when he opened the bag, and a leg fell out.” SHE had been brutally assaulted.

The victim, whose body was bundled into a bag and dumped in front of a staircase in Jalan PJS 1/48, Petaling Jaya Utama, had been sexually assaulted with foreign objects.

A post-mortem at Kuala Lumpur Hospital last night found traces of brinjal and cucumber in the anus and vagina.

Sources said the assault was so intense that it ruptured her abdomen, which probably resulted in her death.

The victim, believed to be between six and nine years old, was placed in a 1.2m-long sports bag in an upright position with both legs curled to her chest.

She was naked.

Those who found the body said it was clean. There were bruises on the neck and minor injuries on the legs but no traces of blood in the bag.

A woman in her 20s seen loitering in the area hours before the body was found may be able to shed light on the case.

Clad in a red top and a pair of black pants, the woman was caught on closed circuit television cameras hours before the body was found.

The camera was one of two installed by a workshop operator next to an office where the body was dumped. Police have seized the recordings and are analysing them.

Sources who saw the recordings said the woman was seen making her way down the stairs of an offi ce and entering a Perodua Kancil, driven by another person.

It could not be ascertained if the woman was carrying anything.

The identity of the victim has yet to be ascertained. Police did not find any missing person’s report which matched the victim.

Yeoh Huat Lip, 51, general manager of IMM Management Sdn Bhd, said the bag was found by a worker who arrived for work at 8.30am and brought it inside, thinking that it belonged to Yeoh since he had just returned from Singapore.

“I suspected there was something wrong when I caught a foul smell coming from the bag,” he said, adding that he and a worker had the shock of their lives when they saw a leg fall out after they unzipped the bag.

“I thought it was a prank, that it was a doll. But when I saw the fl ies and got a whiff of the stench, I realised it was a body,” he said.

The employee who found the bag, Cheng Yan Fong, 32, thought the bag contained books and brought it in.

“It was heavy but I thought nothing of it. Then I waited for my boss to arrive before asking him if it was his. That was when he opened the bag,” he said.

Petaling Jaya deputy police chief Superintendent Mohd Shukor Sulong said the victim had short hair.

“We are still trying to ascertain her identity,” he said.

Mohd Shukor said the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

He appealed to those with information to call 03- 79662222 or the nearest police station.
