KUALA LUMPUREnraged at being prevented from raping his stepdaughter, a Nigerian threw his four-year-old stepson out of an apartment window in Setapak here earlier today, killing the boy instantly.
The 42-year-old suspect, who is married to a 49-year-old local woman and has a son with her, four stepchildren and the stepson, had also jumped out of the family’s apartment after throwing the boy away.
He survived the jump but suffered injuries.
Wangsa Maju Police Chief Superintendent Rajab Ahad Ismail said police received a distress call from a boy who was found dead in a parking lot at the Danau Kota apartments around 8 a.m.
He said the police went to the scene and discovered that the foreign suspect had been detained by the public and the apartment’s security guards.
Rajab said police learned that the suspect had tried to rape one of his stepdaughters who was sleeping in the living room of the house.
He said that when the suspect’s wife saw his attack, she came to the victim’s aid and, with the help of the other children, they tried to stop him.
“The suspect went crazy and started assaulting his wife and children, including his four-year-old stepson,” Rajab said.
The terrified woman and children ran out of the apartment to save themselves before seeking help from neighbors and security guards.
Seeing them yelling for help, the suspect picked up the boy who was in a weak state from the previous assault and took him to the master bedroom.
“The suspect then threw the boy out of the window on the third floor before he jumped out,” Rajab said.
He said the paramedics who arrived at the scene declared the boy dead.
Rajab said the suspect, his wife, and the children were sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment.
He said police will seek a pretrial detention order for the suspect on Monday and urged those with information about the case to contact the investigating officer, ASP S. Gopal at 012-5120242, or the district CID ASP M. Hussin Sallehuddin Zolkifly at 017-2446363.
