The Sibu police are on the hunt for an army captain who allegedly raped his own cousin.
Acting OCPD Supt Martin Koo told The Star Online that the 35-year-old man is a captain based in Johor and was in Sibu to celebrate the Gawai festival when the crime took place.
According to Martin, the victim, a Form Six student, was home alone at about 4am on Tuesday when the man showed up.
“She was in the living room when the suspect pulled her hand and told her that he wanted to hug her,” he said, adding that when she refused, he pushed her down onto a small mattress and forced himself on her.
“The girl could not scream because he covered her mouth with his hand. She also could not struggle to break free because of his big size,” he said.
The suspect reportdly fled after raping the girl.
The girl related the alleged incident to her sister and brother-in-law when they returned home.
