Penan woman: I was not raped

KUCHING: A 22-year-old Penan woman has lodged a police report claiming that she was tricked into going to Kuala Lumpur and telling the police that she had been raped by a logger.

The woman, from Long Item, said two men approached her at home last October and offered to bring her to Kuala Lumpur to seek treatment for her daughter, who was ill at the time.

“However, one of the men, a Penan, told her that the reason she was in Kuala Lumpur was not to get treatment for her child but to lodge a police report.

“Once in KL, she was forced to lodge a report saying that she had been raped,” Sarawak Deputy Commissioner of Police SAC I Datuk Hamza Taib told a press conference at the state police headquarters here yesterday. - + selanjutnya
