Woman nabbed for intimidating, sharing nude photos of hubby and 2nd wife
Melaka Tengah police chief Christopher Patit confirmed the arrest of the woman. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Police have arrested a woman in a polyamorous marriage who allegedly threatened and shared nude photos of her husband's second wife. According to Berita Harian, the Melaka magistrates' court allowed the police to remand the suspect for four days to assist in their investigation. The woman's lawyer, Sheikh Ikhzan Sheikh Salleh, had opposed the remand order, arguing that this was merely a domestic case. The case is being investigated under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, and Section 509 for outraging a person's modesty. A source said the 53-year-old woman was arrested at KLIA last night after returning from a holiday in Austria. She was wanted by police after the second wife – a 47-year-old teacher in Selangor – lodged a police report. The source said the victim was informed by her father that the suspect – a mother of four – had sent him photos of her (the second wife) and her husband in the nude. 'Fearing that the nude photos would be spread and having been harassed by the suspect, the complainant filed a police report on March 27,' the source said. Melaka Tengah police chief Christopher Patit confirmed the arrest, but declined to disclose details of the case.

Foreigner held for allegedly molesting bus passenger
MELAKA: A bus passenger was allegedly molested by a fellow passenger as they travelled on an express bus from Kuala Lumpur to the Melaka Sentral bus terminal here. The incident involved a 19-year-old university student, who claimed that she was touched by a foreigner while travelling home from her college in Kuala Lumpur on Friday. According to her police report, the victim was seated next to a 39-year-old male Bangladeshi. During the journey, she fell asleep briefly and awoke to the unsettling sensation of someone caressing her right thigh. The victim confronted the suspect and demanded that he stop touching her. However, he allegedly continued his inappropriate behaviour. Angered, the victim recorded the act on her mobile phone. In the 100-second video, the victim is heard rebuking the man in English, saying, 'I told you so many times to stop touching me and you still continue.' The footage also shows the suspect placing his left hand on her thigh. The victim then approached the bus driver and reported the incident to him, while also informing the police. An assistant driver confronted the suspect, who claimed he had unintentionally touched her while he was asleep and apologised. He was subsequently instructed to move to a seat at the rear of the bus. The suspect, a cleaner based in Alor Gajah, was arrested by police officers upon arrival at the Melaka Sentral bus terminal here at about 8pm the same day. Melaka police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar confirmed the arrest and said the case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code for outraging the modesty of an individual. The incident follows another case on May 22, in which a 21-year-old undergraduate was allegedly molested by a Pakistani restaurant helper on the staircase of an apartment block in Bukit Beruang. Melaka Tengah OCPD Asst Comm Christopher Patit was quoted as saying that the 31-year-old suspect was arrested by officers from the Ayer Keroh police station after the victim lodged a report that same day.
