"Initially, it was treated as a local crime, but further investigation revealed cross-border elements involving organised crime," he told reporters after officiating at the Perak Police Blood Donation Programme, held in conjunction with the 218th Police Day here today.
Noor Hisam said the victim's 31-year-old son, who had been previously detained to assist in the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code, was released on police bail following the expiry of his remand on Tuesday. - BERNAMA

Photo for illustrative purposes only - 123RF KUALA LUMPUR - A housewife was sentenced to eight years in prison by the Kuala Selangor Sessions Court today after pleading guilty to abusing her adopted daughter using a mortar and pestle and slashing the victim's body with a knife. Judge Nurul Mardhiah Mohammed Redza meted out the sentence to the 54-year-old woman and ordered her to serve her prison term from the date of her arrest on June 28. The court also imposed a two-year good behaviour bond and ordered her to perform 40 hours of community service within four months after completing her prison sentence. The accused, who was the guardian of a 13-year-old girl, was charged with abusing the victim by hitting her with a piece of wood, a mortar and pestle, as well as slashing her body with a knife, causing physical injuries. The offence was committed at a house in Taman Bendahara, Kuala Selangor, in June. She was charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, which provides for a maximum fine of RM50,000, imprisonment of up to 20 years, or both, upon conviction. According to the facts of the case, the accused, who had been caring for the victim since infancy, had physically assaulted and abused the girl, resulting in broken teeth and multiple injuries on her body. Investigations and a medical examination confirmed that the injuries sustained were consistent with physical abuse. Several videos of the incident went viral on social media, with some showing the injuries the victim had sustained on her hands and head. Photo: Screenshot of the viral videos. Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Mohamad Nor Hakimi Mohamad Rosedin urged the court to impose a proportionate and deterrent sentence as a lesson to both the accused and the wider community, citing the public interest and the alarming frequency of child abuse cases. "The accused has committed a serious offence under Section 52B of the Penal Code. I respectfully request the court to review the photographs of the victim's injuries, which clearly show that the accused failed in her responsibilities as the victim's guardian,' he said. "The accused's actions have left both physical and psychological scars on her adopted child, who is now suffering from trauma,' he added. Meanwhile, lawyer Khairul Hazwan Rashid Mohd Redduan from the National Legal Aid Foundation, who represented the accused, appealed for the prison sentence to commence from the date of her arrest. He also said that his client is unable to pay any fine, as she has no source of income and her husband is currently serving a prison sentence for a drug-related offence. - BERNAMA
