Attempted Rape and Murder

PETALING JAYA: The body of 15-year-old girl Ng Yuk Tim, who had been missing since Monday, was found stuffed in a suitcase and in Jalan Kebun Nenas, Shah Alam.

Selangor deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Abdul Rahim Jaafar said a 23-year-old male suspect had confessed to killing the girl in his house and was brought in to the Petaling Jaya police headquarters at 6.30pm.

“He led police to a body which was in a suitcase at the side of the road near a curb,” he told a press conference at the crime scene.

According to sources, Ng Yuk Tim left her home at 11am on Monday and went to the man’s home in Kelana Jaya to work on cosplay costumes for an upcoming event.

The man initially claimed that he had dropped her off at the Kelana Jaya LRT station at about 3.30pm.

Under persistent questioning by a crime watcher, he confessed to murdering her.

He admitted that he tried to rape the girl before striking her with a dumbbell, killing her on the spot.



Family in Despair. Grandpa out for blood.

PETALING JAYA: "HE is not human but an animal; a devil. If I were given the chance, if the police were to allow me, I would take an iron bar and smack his head like what he did to Yuk Tim."

Such was the grief of the family of murdered Ng Yuk Tim that her maternal grandfather, William Sim, is considering facing the gallows just so he can avenge the 15-year-old's death.

"My granddaughter was a very nice person, who had a good heart and a bright future. How could the murderer do this to her, to us?

"He wanted to rape my granddaughter, and killed her when she fought back. I am 70. I have nothing to lose if I am sent to the gallows."

Speaking at the University Malaya Medical Centre mortuary, Sim said what the family could not stomach was that the 23-year-old suspect, who was reported to have confessed to the killing later, had initially showed concern about Yuk Tim's disappearance, even "helping" to look for her.

The family's anger at the man boiled over at the mortuary as Sim, Yuk Tim's grandmother and an aunt told reporters they would never forgive him and hoped the courts would send him the gallows.

Sim said the man had initially told his 35-year-old daughter, Sim Yee Ling, Yuk Tim's mother, that he had dropped the teen off at the Kelana Jaya LRT station at 3pm on Monday.

When checks were made on the station's closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera recordings the following day, Yuk Tim was nowhere to be seen.

"When we told him (the suspect) about the CCTV, and asked him to come over, he dared to come and acted innocent.

"I really would like to thank (Selangor Community Policing Association chairman) Kuan (Chee Heng), as he was the one who detected the suspect's injuries and coaxed him to tell the truth."

Kuan had gone to the LRT station on Tuesday afternoon to join the search party, and spotted injuries and a bite mark on the man's hand. The man confessed that he had hit the victim's head with a dumbbell when they scuffled after she refused to have sex with him.

He led police to a location in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, where he had dumped Yuk Tim's body which he had stuffed into a luggage bag. Sim's wife, Yap Pik Wan, 59, said the suspect was among her granddaughter's circle of friends who shared a hobby in cosplay.

She said on the day Yuk Tim went missing, she had left their house in Bandar Tun Razak at 11am for a drink with the group in Kelana Jaya.

"However, my granddaughter followed the man home to work on a cosplay project. She wanted to make a helmet for a cosplay competition in December.

"Usually, they would do it in a group as other girls had also asked for the man's help to make their costumes, but that day, he tricked my granddaughter into following him home alone."

At 1.30pm, the suspect was brought to the mortuary by police for a physical examination. Sources said the bite mark on the suspect was examined to see whether they matched Yuk Tim's teeth.

At 3.15pm, a Buddhist monk arrived at the mortuary to lead prayers for Yuk Tim. With them was Yuk Tim's 10-year-old sister, Ee Sing. Three hours later, family members were called in to view Yuk Tim's body after a post-mortem was concluded.

Yee Ling came out wailing, and her ex-husband, Ng Sai Kuan, 38, had to carry her, holding her close to console her. There was not a dry eye among Yuk Tim's relatives.

Sources said pathologists had concluded Yuk Tim died from injuries sustained when she was hit on the head.

She had been hit at least three times with a 10kg dumbbell. The examination confirmed she had not been raped. Police yesterday obtained a remand order to hold the suspect for seven days.

Senior court registrar Zalina Abdul Rani issued the order after the suspect was brought to the magistrate's court at 11.30am. The suspect was calm as he was brought out of court and escorted to a police car outside the Petaling Jaya Court Complex at 12.30pm.


And then i found this:

I have to tell you, i got a real shock from this. Like really. I mean it's one thing to know the person who passed on but it's a totally different thing when you realize that you know the man responsible for such a crime.

I find it extremely scary and creepy. Makes me wonder about all the people around me. Like how do you know if somehow somewhere deep within the darkest corner of their mind  they aren't some psychotic killer or something other? I know I'm being totally unreasonable and I'm not saying I ever thought and am now thinking of kicking my friends to the curb just cause I don't trust them but it makes you wonder, huh?
