Teens held for alleged sodomy

HULU SELANGOR: Police yesterday arrested two teenagers for allegedly sodomising two trainees who were receiving counselling service at a National Skills Development Centre in Serendah.

Hulu Selangor district police chief Supt Lim Bak Phai said police were informed of the incident by the centre’s principal at 2pm.

“According to the principal, he was informed by a Hulu Selangor district Social Welfare officer about what had happened. The two victims aged 14 and 16 were allegedly sodomised at the centre in November last year when they were receiving counselling.

“Investigations revealed the incident took place at a bushy area behind a workshop at the training centre.”

Lim added the victims claimed that they were sodomised by two other trainees who were also staying together with them.

Police detained the suspects aged 14 and 17 at the training centre at 2pm.

“The duo have been remanded for seven days starting yesterday,” Lim said.

The victims have been sent for a medical evaluation.

The case is being investigated under Section 377C of the Penal Code for committing carnal intercourse against the order of nature without consent and Section 354 of the same code for using criminal force on a person with intent to outrage modesty.
