Medical student slashed to death in Johor Baru

A third-year medical student who had just returned home on a semester break from studies in Indonesia was found dead of multiple slash wounds in her house in Bandar Baru UDA here today. The bloodied body of the deceased, identified as Moushmi Chitra Ramasamy, 21, was found slumped in the house by an aunt who dropped by for a visit at 6pm.

The relative, who quickly summoned other relatives of the family living in the same housing estate, forced open the front door to find the victim with deep slash wounds to her head, neck and torso.

Police believe Moushmi, who was in the house alone at the time of the murder, was attacked by someone known to the family.

"The victim is believed to have put up a fierce fight because the walls of the house were spattered with blood. Her body was found in the master bedroom of the single-storey terrace house," police said.

The victim, the second of two girls in the family, was studying medicine at Universiti Sumatra Utara in Medan, Indonesia.

She had returned home on Tuesday at 3pm after three years of study there.

Police have yet to ascertain the motive of the attack. However, a suspect, found among a large crowd of neighbours who had turned up at the house, was detained for questioning.

Dad held over assault on duo

IPOH: The father of a rape victim has been detained for allegedly beating up his daughter’s rapists after he learnt about the incident.

The two youths, who were said to have raped the man’s daughter and another student in Batu Gajah last week, have also been arrested.

The victim’s father, in his 40s, is said to have forcefully taken the two suspects, both 17-years-old, to a secluded area last week after his daughter told the family that she had been raped in a house in Batu Gajah.

In a bid to get a confession from the youths, the self-employed father allegedly assaulted them.

The youths, who sustained injuries to their bodies, were arrested after the man handed them over to the police.

The man was arrested several minutes later after the youths lodged a report against him, saying he had beaten them up.

The two girls had also lodged a police report over the alleged rape.

Kinta/Batu Gajah OCPD Asst Comm Ab Abdul Wahab Abdul Azizul Hasan, who confirmed the arrest yesterday, declined to elaborate on the matter.

He said the youths were being investigated for rape while the victim’s father was being investigated for intentionally causing hurt.
