Housewife shocked to find naked robber lying beside her

By R.S.N. MURALI


KUALA TERENGGANU: A robber not only carted away cash and belongings but before that had the cheek to lie naked beside a woman whose house he'd broken into.

The victim, a 36-year-old housewife, wrote in her report that she was fast asleep in the hall of her house at Kampung Bukit Tok Beng in Seberang Takir, when she was awakened by a naked man.

She claimed she was not aware that the man, who had caressed and slept beside her, was not her husband.

She said the intruder also had covered his face with a T-shirt.

The man tried to coax the woman to go into another room, saying he was drunk.

The woman then called out her husband's name and the thief replied “I am him”.

The housewife smelled something fishy as his voice didn't sound like her husband's. She then went to another room and found her husband fast asleep on the couch.

That's when she screamed causing the thief to flee by leaping out the window together with the stolen items.

State Deputy CID chief Supt Khairi Ahrasa said police were close to solving the case, as they believed the thief was from the same village.
