Compiled by JOSEPH SIPALAN, WINNIE YEOH and A. RAMAN

A WOMAN desperate to get pregnant was molested by a bomoh,' who claimed that his method of “hug, grope and kiss” would guarantee that she would be with child, reported Harian Metro.

The 62-year-old bomoh , who has been detained by police, was recommended by the 31-year-old victim's friend.

The suspect ordered her to go to the bathroom where he would then bathe her as part of his fertility treatment.

Rompin district police chief Deputy Supt Ahmad Johari Jahaya said that was when the suspect went into action.

“Because of the victim's naivete, the suspect proceeded to hug her from behind before fondling and kissing her neck and breasts,” he said.

After that, he said that she would be pregnant within a month.

The victim became suspicious after he left and lodged a police report after informing her 33-year-old husband of the incident.

> The paper also reported that a teenage boy committed incest with his 14-year-old sister and she was now four months pregnant.

This began early last year and their parents only found out when she complained of not having a “period” for a few months.

The mother brought the daughter to the Balik Pulau Hospital for a medical check-up and was shocked when doctors confirmed that she was pregnant.

“Because the victim was underaged, the doctor lodged a police report over the matter.

“Based on investigations, the victim admitted that she was raped by her 17-year-old brother when their family was away,” he said.

Balik Pulau OCPD Supt Mohd Hatta Mohd Zain confirmed receiving the report.

> Kosmo! reported that the fingers and toes of a 52-year-old woman in Pahang had turned black allegedly due to wrong medication administered by a doctor at a government hospital.

Jamilah Kasim, who works at Felda Wilayah Mempaga, claimed that she fell into a nine-day coma and woke up to find that all her toes and the tips of some of her fingers had turned black and she was in constant pain.

She had apparently gone to the hospital to seek treatment for a fever.

After taking medication prescribed by the doctor on duty and going through an X-ray, she lost consciousness.

“My fingers and toes turned black after my third day in coma.

“My husband and children noticed it,” she said.

Her husband, Uyub Seman, 57, urged the hospital to explain what happened.

He also requested to find a solution to his wife's predicament.
