Girl feels dizzy and sleepy after drinking Cola
PENAMPANG:
A teenage girl claimed she was raped by a man whom she had befriended just a week before the incident. The 19-year-old victim said that she had gone to meet the suspect on Nov 30 and was shocked to wake up naked in the bushes the next morning. Acting District Police Chief ASP Che Rafizi Che Ramli said the suspect, an 18-year-old Suluk-Filipino labourer, was handed over to the police a few days after the incident.
“The girl claimed that the suspect had been calling her and wanted to meet her. She left home on Friday and met him at the Kampung Dumpil Keramat roadside around 8pm. “After awhile, she became thirsty and the man who had a tin of Coca Cola in his hands, offered her the drink,” said Rafizi. The victim claimed that she felt dizzy and sleepy after taking the drink and only felt that she was being carried away. The next morning, she found herself naked in the bushes.
She walked home in a daze but did not relate the incident to her family “The victim only disclosed what had happened three days later. Her family then looked for the suspect and handed him over to the police,’ said Rafizi. He added the girl had been sent for medical check-up. The suspect is currently remanded and the case is being investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code which carries 20 years jail, and liable to whipping, if found guilty.
