Rape victim’s body found hanged from durian tree

The body of a woman, believed to be a rape victim, was found hanged from a durian tree in Sungei Choh near here. She was clad only in her underwear.

The body was found by passers-by at 7.50am. The woman had a rope tied round her neck and the other end tied to a branch of the tree behind a petrol station. Her legs were tied and her feet were touching the ground.

No identification document was found on her. We are unsure about the victim’s race but initial checks indicate that she might be a foreigner.
