In a harrowing incident that shook Malaysia, a woman fell victim to a brutal gang rape on August 30th, around 3:30 am inside her own home, she was assaulted by her brother-in-law and 4 other men who broke into her home and tied her up, and they even used their phones to record the whole thing, according to China Press.
The Malaysian police have since released photos and information of the brother-in-law in an appeal to the public for information as the manhunt begins.
The Nightmarish Assault
On 30 August at about 3.30am, five men forcibly entered the victim’s house located in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur (KL). It was during the early hours of the morning when the victim was fast asleep.
Upon gaining entry, the assailants wasted no time and immediately immobilized the victim, tying her hands and gagging her with tape. The nightmare escalated as they subjected her to a horrific gang rape, all the while callously recording the entire ordeal on their mobile phones.
Once the brutal gang rape had finished, the victim then called the police for help at about 4.25am, about 1 hour after her ordeal began.
The Mastermind Within the Family
What makes this horrific incident even more shocking is the identity of the mastermind behind the assault. One of the perpetrators was revealed to be none other than the victim’s brother-in-law.
