More girls could have been raped by bus driver
PETALING JAYA: The alleged rapist who forced himself on a young girl in the school bus he was driving on Monday is believed to have made at least two other children victims of his lust.
One of them, it is learned, is the bus driver’s adopted daughter.
Parents of the other child have not made any police report against the man.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed said the police would lodge a report on behalf of the victims’ families to enable them to carry out a thorough investigation.
The three children have been sent for a medical check-up to determine if they had been raped or molested.
It is learnt the 51-year-old suspect is married with three children, aged nine to 20, and lives in Taman Medan here.
Initial investigations revealed that the man adopted a girl six years ago when she was four.
“We believe that she had been sexually assaulted by the suspect several times,” ACP Arjunaidi said further.
He also added that there could be more victims.
He urged victims to come forward to lodge reports against the suspect.
The bus driver had allegedly raped a 10-year-old passenger in full view of other pupils in the bus at 12.40pm on Monday.
The bus driver had allegedly parked the vehicle by the roadside at Jalan Othman here and forcefully undressed the child in front of the other horrified kids before raping her.
A kindergarten teacher who heard the screams sought help from passers-by, who grabbed the suspect and beat him up before handing him over to the police.
ACP Arjunaidi said police believe the suspect had been raping young passengers in his bus over the past few months.
