A morning jog turned into a nightmare for a 15-year-old girl who was allegedly assaulted, robbed, and raped while jogging in Palekbang, Tumpat, Kelantan
According to Berita Harian, the teenager had gone out early in the morning with her 10-year-old brother, but the siblings became separated when the boy grew tired and fell behind.
Thinking his sister had already headed home, the boy returned alone, unaware of the incident that had unfolded.
A passerby found the injured teenager around 11am in a bush near a canal in Kampung Mesira before alerting her 50-year-old father
The suspect allegedly beat the victim with a wooden stick, causing severe injuries to her face, head, and body, before fleeing with her mobile phone.
She was rushed to Hospital Tumpat and later transferred to Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II in Kota Bharu for specialist treatment.
Tumpat district police chief ACP Mohd Khairi Shafie confirmed that police are investigating the case
The case is being probed under Section 376 and Section 394 of the Penal Code for alleged rape and robbery causing hurt, respectively.
Mohd Khairi urged anyone with relevant information to immediately contact Inspector Zulazri at 011-11486922 or visit the nearest police station.
