Police arrest couple for allegedly abusing 11-year-old daughter
ARAU: A couple was arrested early this morning at their home in Taman Desa Saujana here for allegedly abusing their 11-year-old daughter since 2023. Arau police chief Supt Ahmad Mohsin Md Rodi said the 37-year-old husband and wife were detained at 1.30am after the Perlis Social Welfare Department (JKM) received a public complaint about suspected physical abuse. According to initial investigations, the most recent incident is believed to have occurred at about noon yesterday when the girl was allegedly caned on her back by her father for misbehaving. 'JKM received the tip-off via its hotline around 12.15pm yesterday. It was reported that the child had been physically abused by her biological parents,' he said in a statement today. Later that night, a JKM child protection officer visited the house at 10.40pm and took the girl, a pupil at a Chinese vernacular school (SJKC) in Kangar, to the Arau Children's Home to facilitate further investigation. A medical examination at Tuanku Fauziah Hospital (HTF) in Kangar revealed injuries on the victim's head, lips, chest, right ribs, back, arms, and legs – believed to be caused by blunt force and exposure to hot water. 'The girl had both old and recent injuries and has been referred to the hospital's Paediatric Unit for further treatment,' he added. The couple has been remanded for six days beginning today to assist with the investigation under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.

Woman teacher loses RM23,000 to phone scam
KANGAR: A female teacher in Pauh, Arau lost RM23,000 after she was believed to have been duped by a phone scam syndicate from individuals posing as a Touch 'n Go officer and the authorities on May 29. Arau district police chief Supt Ahmad Mohsin Md Rodi said the 26-year-old teacher received a phone call from an individual introducing himself as a Touch 'n Go officer at 12.21 pm while she was at school, informing her that her Touch 'n Go had been used to steal money from someone else's account. 'Then, the call was supposedly connected to the authorities (namely) from the Penang police contingent headquarters (IPK), who claimed that the teacher was involved in money laundering and drug smuggling crimes. 'The teacher was asked to transfer money to a bank account given by the suspect totalling RM23,000 in a single transaction to avoid having her bank account frozen. The teacher made the money transfer transaction on the same day,' he said in a statement today. Ahmad Mohsin said the teacher only realised she had been scammed after checking the information again and lodged a police report the next day on May 30. 'This case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code and further investigations are being conducted by the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of Perlis IPK. We would like to remind the public not to easily panic if they receive a call claiming they are involved in a crime,' he said.

Cop awaiting sentencing found dead in cell at Perlis prison
KANGAR: A police officer in custody was found dead at the Perlis Correctional Centre in Guar Nangka on Monday (May 26), Sinar Harian reports. Arau OCPD Supt Ahmad Mohsin Md Rodi told the Malay language daily that the death was reported to the police by staff at Hospital Tuanku Fauziah at 5:25pm Monday. "An officer on duty at the Arau district police headquarters received a call from Hospital Tuanku Fauziah, Kangar, informing them that an inmate from the Perlis Correctional Centre had passed away," he said. He explained that preliminary investigations revealed the deceased, aged 28 from Terengganu, was an officer from the Perlis contingent police headquarters, who had been detained under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. "The deceased had been held at the Perlis Correctional Centre, Guar Nangka since March 17, 2023, and was awaiting sentencing by the Kangar High Court. "On Monday, at around 8am, the deceased was instructed to be taken to the Kangar Magistrate's Court for a hearing, but he refused to attend," he told Sinar Harian. Supt Ahmad Mohsin clarified that the deceased was visited hourly by the warden on duty and was observed to be sitting quietly or lying on his bed. "Then, at around 4:30pm, the warden making the rounds tried to wake the deceased, who was thought to be sleeping, but found that he was no longer moving and immediately instructed that he be taken to the hospital. "At approximately 5:10pm, the hospital confirmed that the deceased had arrived in a 'Brought In Dead' (BID) condition," he said. Further investigation revealed that the deceased was placed in Blok Damai, Perlis Correctional Centre, with two other inmates. "The deceased also had a psychiatric record that had been referred to several hospitals since 2017. "Preliminary investigations by the investigating officer found no criminal elements against the deceased that could point to a cause of death," he said. The body was then taken to the Forensic Department at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar, for an autopsy on Tuesday (May 27) to determine the exact cause of death. According to Ahmad Mohsin, the body is expected to be transported back and buried in his hometown in Setiu, Terengganu, upon completion of the autopsy process.
