Two teenagers gang-raped in Malaysia

M

alaysian police have arrested at least 13 people,including a father and his two sons, over the alleged gang-rape of two teenagegirls, an officer said Friday.

The girls '€” aged 15 and 17 '€” were raped on May 20 for hours by a group of men in an abandoned hut in the northern state of Kelantan, Lai Yong Heng, the state'€™s director of crime investigation, said.

Police have arrested 13 men, aged from 15 to 38, and are looking for '€œa few more'€ in connection with the gang-rape, he added.

Lai dismissed early reports that almost 40 people took turns in the rape, saying it was fewer but that some raped the girls more than once.

'€œIt'€™s definitely more than 10. We are still investigating,'€ he told AFP
