SINGAPORE – A thief with a fetish disorder entered an HDB apartment and managed to escape with 10 bras from a room in which the owner slept.
About four months later, Muhammad Iqbal Mohamed Rafe entered another department after seeing a bra on a coat rack inside. This time, Iqbal was caught when one of the unit’s residents returned.
On Monday (May 11), the 34-year-old man was jailed nine months after pleading guilty to two counts of trespassing with the intent to commit robbery and one count of robbery. Four other theft charges were taken into consideration for his sentence.
On September 18 of last year, Iqbal left his home for work and passed an HDB block along Yishun Road. A day earlier, he had seen some undergarments hanging inside one of the units in the block, but had resisted the urge to wear them.
This time, he noticed that the padlock on the front door of the flat was not locked. Iqbal entered the two-story casita unit and began scanning the rooms for the underwear he had seen before.
He entered the master bedroom on the second floor and pulled 10 bras from a coat rack before noticing that a woman was sleeping inside the room. Iqbal also took a wallet, two savings account books, $ 100 cash and a backpack to hold the stolen bras from the floor before leaving. The stolen bras were worth $ 200 total.
As I was leaving the apartment, Iqbal accidentally tripped and touched the padlock on the door of the unit. Concerned about having left fingerprints, he also stole the padlock.
On her e-scooter, Iqbal returned home and inspected the bras, intending to use them for masturbation. However, he realized that he was late for work and went home again.
On the morning of January 29, Iqbal entered another Yishun flat after seeing a bra hanging from a shelf inside him. The sight of the underwear had sexually aroused him and he wanted to touch her.
Iqbal then entered the unit and headed straight for the bra and two panties.
However, while stroking the underwear; he heard a noise indicating someone was coming home, and so he panicked and went into the bathroom, shutting himself up, “Deputy Prosecutor Gabriel Lim told the court. While there, Iqbal placed his underwear on the toilet.
A male resident of the apartment had returned to the apartment, saw Iqbal inside the kitchen and yelled at him, causing him to hide in the toilet. When Iqbal finally came out of the bathroom, he lied to the male residents that one of the women in the flat had given him permission to use the bathroom.
The male resident checked in with the two women at home, but they had both been sleeping in their respective rooms and claimed they had no idea Iqbal was in the unit.
Iqbal was allowed to leave after providing the man with his details. One of the women found the bra and panties in the toilet and a police report was filed. Iqbal was arrested later that day.
A medical report from the Institute of Mental Health diagnosed Iqbal with a fetish disorder in which he experienced recurring sexual arousal from wearing women’s underwear. This was manifested in his commission of crimes.
For burglary with the intent to commit robbery, Iqbal could have been jailed for up to seven years. For committing burglary in a house, he could have been jailed for up to seven years and fined.
