Manjung acting police chief Chong Boo Khim noted that upon conducting medical examinations, medical staff found old and new injuries on the girl’s body.

Thus, this led them to believe that the girl was raped and abused.

They arrested her mother, aged 29, and her current stepfather, aged 26.

All three suspects had past criminal records.
