Malaysia: More women are being raped and molested after seeking the services of bomoh and fortune-tellers to cast away evil spirits and even restore their virginity.
In one of the latest cases in Parit Jawa here last month, the parents of a 15-year-old student watched as a bomoh molested the girl during a ritual at their house. The girl had complained of headaches and dizzy spells.
The earlier victims, in their teens and early 20s, told police that the bomoh go by various nicknames such as Ustaz Zul, Bomoh Megat, Bomoh Mad Khan and Ustaz Haji Mansur.
They said some of the bomoh even engage female assistants to convince their victims that they were doing the right thing.
It is learnt that an ustaz recently raped a university lecturer from Negri Sembilan who wanted to to get rid of “evil voices”.
The same man also molested a 21-year-old clerk from Selangor who wanted to restore her virginity after breaking up with her boyfriend recently.
The woman claimed that she was put under a spell from a drink given by the ustaz.
She was forced to perform lewd acts with a female assistant of the ustaz, who then raped her several times.
It is learnt that the sexual acts were videotaped.
Police have received many reports of cases in Muar, Kota Tinggi and Kluang.
Muar OCPD Asst Comm Mohamed Nasir Ramli confirmed that police had arrested several people connected to the cases and urged the victims to lodge reports.
Police can also be contacted at the hotline number 07-221-2999.
