MELAKA - A decade-long ordeal of a teenage girl, who was sexually abused by her father, came to light after she confided in her mother last Saturday. The victim, now 18 and employed as a salesperson, was allegedly raped by her father, a mechanic, since she was eight years old. Sources revealed that the victim, the eldest of six siblings, was forced to keep the abuse a secret due to her father's threats of violence against her and her siblings. The abuse came to light after the victim's mother confronted her husband about his failure to provide financial support for the family, prompting her to leave the home with the victim's five younger siblings. It was then that the victim found the courage to reveal the secret she had kept for years. "When the mother asked the victim to stay with her father after the separation, the victim refused and broke down in tears, recounting how she had been subjected to her father's sexual abuse for a decade since she was eight years old," the source said. The victim disclosed that the most recent incident occurred around 9pm last week at their home, while her mother was packing to leave with her younger siblings. Following this revelation, the mother took all six of her children to Kuala Lumpur, where they temporarily stayed with relatives before lodging a police report on Sunday. The mother also alleged that her husband frequently beat the children, causing serious injuries, but she had not reported it earlier due to his threats. Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar confirmed that a report was received and the suspect has been arrested.

Accused robber's companion blocks media
In the spotlight: The accused being led out of the court after he claimed trial for armed robbery at the Sessions Court here. MELAKA: A brief commotion unfolded at the Melaka Court Complex in Ayer Keroh when a woman, believed to be a relative of an accused in an armed robbery case, attempted to block members of the media from carrying out their duties. The incident occurred yesterday near the police counter at the courthouse lobby, where two women followed the accused, Amirul Hamry Hambalyi Azahari, 27, as he was being escorted by policemen after he was charged in the Sessions Court. As two cameramen recorded the scene with court approval, one of the women, in her 20s, approached a senior television cameraman and placed her hand on his shoulder, requesting that he stop recording. Another journalist and a cameraman from the Chinese media were also reportedly obstructed and verbally abused. Earlier, the same woman was seen attempting to intercept policemen escorting the suspect, seemingly to prevent media personnel from recording footage. Eyewitnesses claimed both women tried to escalate the situation by stating that they held official positions. The confrontation, which lasted roughly two minutes, was quickly brought under control by cops. Amirul Hamry had earlier appeared before judge Haderiah Siri to face charges of robbery while armed with a meat-cutting knife. He is alleged to have taken RM202.80 in cash, three boxes of cigarettes and a barcode scanner from a convenience store in Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho 2 at 3am on July 29. If convicted, Amirul Hamry faces up to 20 years in prison and possible whipping under Section 392 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 397. The accused, who was unrepresented, was granted bail of RM9,000 with additional conditions, including reporting to the police fortnightly and surrendering his passport. The court fixed Sept 9 as the next mention date.
