The civil servant who surrendered himself to the police in connection with the alleged gang rape of a teenage girl in Pulau Tioman has reportedly tested positive for drugs.
In a report by Sin Chew Daily, as translated by The Star Online, Rompin OCPD Deputy Supt Muhammad Aidil Roneh Abdullah said a urine test was conducted on the 26-year-old suspect, and the results showed positive for methamphetamine (syabu).
Muhammad Aidil told the Chinese daily that a sample of the suspect’s DNA has been sent to the labs for analysis.
At his supervisor’s request, the man surrendered to the police on Saturday night, making him the seventh suspect arrested in relation to the alleged rape.
The other suspects, according to Sin Chew Daily, have been released on bail.
Last Thursday, the victim, a Form Four student who was working part-time at the Kampung Tekek jetty, told a press conference that she was allegedly drugged and repeatedly raped by four people at the jetty and the Customs office.
The girl also claimed that her neighbour’s brother had also raped her, while his sister sexually assaulted and took nude pictures and video of her.
