Ex-gang member linked to gang-rape
JOHOR BARU: Police have identified a former member of the Sagol Gang as allegedly being behind the gang-rape of a woman on Monday.
State CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Roslan Ahmad said Shahabudin S.K. Mohamed Ariff, 27, could assist police in their investigations.
It is learnt that Shahabudin was detained three years ago in relation to a gang-rape case but was released because of insufficient evidence.
SAC Roslan said police were looking for three others involved in Monday's incident in which a 19-year-old woman was raped by three men as her boyfriend watched helplessly in Taman Bukit Indah.
He said a task force comprising state and district police had been formed to hunt the suspects.
On reports that Tampoi and Larkin police had responded belatedly in the case, SAC Roslan said an investigation would be carried out.
He reminded the public to call the police hotline at 07-2212 999 to report any crime.
