JOHOR BAHRU: Seorang budak lelaki berusia tiga setengah tahun mati di sebuah
klinik swasta di Taman Universiti di sini petang kelmarin, selepas dipercayai
didera berdasarkan kecederaannya termasuk melecur di belakang badan.
Berikutan itu, polis menahan ibu mangsa dan teman lelakinya di rumah sewa di
taman berkenaan sebaik menerima laporan mengenai kematian kanak-kanak itu.
Mangsa, Lau Jun Wei, dikatakan ditinggalkan di klinik berkenaan dalam keadaan
tidak sedarkan diri, kira-kira jam 3.30 petang.
Ketua Polis Daerah Johor Bahru Utara, Asisten Komisioner Johari Yahya, berkata
doktor di klinik itu mengesahkan mangsa meninggal dunia dan memaklumkan polis
selepas melihat kecederaanya.
Terdapat kesan luka dan lebam di kaki, tangan dan mata Lau, manakala belakang,
ada kesan melecur dan tanda bekas dirotan di kepala.
"Kita sudah menahan ibu mangsa berusia 22 tahun dan teman lelakinya berusia 23
tahun petang semalam," katanya.
Pasangan terbabit kini ditahan reman selama seminggu bagi membantu siasatan.
Mayat kanak-kanak itu dihantar ke Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA) untuk dibedah
siasat.
Difahamkan, ibu kanak-kanak itu, yang berasal dari Tangkak, bercerai dua tahun
lalu manakala teman lelakinya dari Pontian.
Teman serumahnya yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Thien, berkata pasangan itu
tinggal bersama sejak tiga bulan lalu.
Katanya, lelaki itu bekerja sebagai penjual telefon bimbit manakala wanita
berkenaan tidak bekerja.
"Bagaimanapun, saya hanya melihat Lau sebanyak tiga kali di kawasan sekitar
rumah dan mangsa sering termenung dan murung serta tidak seceria seperti
kanak-kanak lain," katanya.
Thien berkata, kanak-kanak itu dikurung dalam bilik berseorangan dan beliau
pernah mendengar Lau menangis serta menghentak kaki.
Kerap kena kurung - Oleh Ibrahim Isa
JOHOR BAHRU: Kanak-kanak mangsa dera, Lau Jun Wei, 3, hanya tiga kali dilihat
penghuni lain di rumah yang disewa ibu kandungnya di Jalan Kebudayaan, Taman
Universiti, di sini, sebelum diberitahu sudah meninggal dunia, malam kelmarin.
Selain itu, mangsa dikatakan sering dikurung sendirian di dalam bilik apabila
ibu dan teman lelakinya keluar bersiar-siar atau membeli keperluan harian
mereka.
Seorang teman serumah pasangan berkenaan yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai
Theen, 26, berkata mangsa bersama ibunya mula berpindah ke rumah dua tingkat
itu kira-kira tiga bulan lalu.
Bagaimanapun, katanya, dia cuma melihat kanak-kanak itu sebanyak tiga kali
sepanjang tiga bulan lalu.
Kali pertama saya lihatnya ketika mereka datang melihat rumah, kali kedua
pada hari mereka berpindah dan ketiga, keesokan harinya.
Apa yang saya lihat, mangsa berbeza daripada kanak-kanak lain kerana dia
bukan saja tidak ceria, malah seperti dalam kemurungan serta selalu termenung.
Bagaimanapun, saya tidak sangka sesuatu yang buruk akan berlaku kerana
pasangan itu dilihat seperti pasangan biasa lain walaupun sering mendengar
bunyi hentakan kaki hampir setiap hari awal pagi, katanya.
Theen berkata, apa yang pelik mengenai sikap pasangan itu ialah apabila
mereka mahu keluar, kanak-kanak terbabit akan dikurung berseorangan di dalam
bilik.
Menurutnya, apa yang diketahui mengenai pasangan berkenaan ialah ibu
kanak-kanak itu tidak bekerja manakala teman lelakinya penjual telefon bimbit
di Taman Universiti.
Theen yang juga seorang guru sekolah rendah berkata, dia hanya tahu kematian
kanak-kanak itu apabila diberitahu teman serumahnya, malam kelmarin.
Katanya, kali terakhir dia melihat pasangan itu ialah kira-kira jam 2 petang
kelmarin dan ketika itu, ibu mangsa kelihatan gelisah dan turun ke bawah dengan
tergesa-gesa.
Kira-kira dua minit kemudian, saya lihat teman lelakinya pulang menaiki
teksi tetapi tidak tahu apa yang berlaku selepas itu kerana saya keluar rumah
kerana mempunyai urusan lain, katanya.
Sementara itu, seorang lagi rakan serumah yang hanya mahu dikenali Tan, 29,
berkata dia jarang berjumpa pasangan itu dan hanya tahu teman lelaki ibu mangsa
saudara kepada pemilik rumah itu.
Dia yang juga guru sekolah menengah berkata, dia tidak nampak kelainan pada
pasangan itu, kecuali tingkah laku mangsa yang terlalu pendiam bagi kanak-kanak
berusia tiga tahun.
Sejak pasangan itu berpindah ke sini, saya sering mendengar mangsa menangis
di dalam bilik.
Bagaimanapun, saya beranggapan ia perkara biasa kerana mungkin kanak-kanak
itu menangis selepas ditinggalkan ibu dan teman lelaki ibunya itu.
Saya hanya mengetahui kematian Jun Wei selepas polis bersama ibu kanak-kanak
itu pulang ke rumah untuk mengambil sijil kelahiran mangsa malam kelmarin,
katanya
Kesan luka, lebam
JOHOR BAHRU: Tubuh kanak-kanak berusia tiga tahun yang meninggal dunia
dipercayai akibat didera didapati mempunyai kesan kesan luka dan lebam di
tangan dan kaki manakala belakang badannya mempunyai luka terkena air panas.
Selain itu, kepala mangsa turut mempunyai kesan luka dirotan manakala mata
kesan lebam.
Penderaan itu diketahui pihak berkuasa selepas mangsa dikenali sebagai Lau
Jun Wei, dibawa ke sebuah klinik swasta di Taman Universiti dipercayai bagi
mendapatkan rawatan selepas tidak sedarkan diri kira-kira jam 3.30 petang
kelmarin.
Bagaimanapun, mangsa yang tinggal bersama ibu dan teman lelaki ibunya di
Jalan Kebudayaan, taman itu, disahkan mati ketika cuba dirawat doktor.
Sexually-abused child dies, couple held - 06 Oct 2006
Jassmine Shadiqe JOHOR BARU: He must have gone through hell before he died.
And he was just three.
Lau Jun Wei is believed to have been tied up for hours and sexually abused
until his private parts turned blue and his anus was bleeding.
There were also signs on his buttocks that he had been repeatedly whipped.
The abrasions on his little body were unbelievable: He even had bruises on his
head.
A private doctor took one look at the dead child and the extent of injuries on
Wednesday, and called in the police.
A 29-year-old relative and her 23-year-old boyfriend, who had brought Jun Weis
battered body to the clinic about 3.50pm, were detained.
Their explanation to the doctor that the child had become unconscious after a
fall wont stand up to scrutiny as a post-mortem in a day or two will reveal
the sordid truth.
What is sure is this: Jun Wei died after being methodically abused in the two
rooms that his relative and her boyfriend had rented at a house in Jalan
Kebudayaan, Taman University, here.
It is learnt Jun Weis parents are separated and that his fathers whereabouts
are unknown.
Hours after the couple was detained, it emerged from their housemates that
although they appeared normal, there had been signs that something was amiss.
A housemate, a primary school teacher who only wanted to be identified as
Theen, said he sometimes heard thumping noises from the couples rooms after
midnight.
"They maintained a quiet profile and there was nothing openly suspicious about
them, except for the thumping noises," said Theen, 26, who lived downstairs.
He said when he saw the couple about 3.30pm on Wednesday, "the boys relative
was looking very pale and in a state of panic".
"The boyfriend was waiting outside in a taxi. There was no sign of the boy."
Theen said the boy seldom left his room, having been seen only about three
times in the living room since his relative and her boyfriend moved in three
months ago.
He said another strange thing was that the couple sometimes left Jun Wei alone
in his room when they went out.
"I used to hear him weeping inside his room. People just dont leave their
three-year-old alone at home."
Another housemate, who wanted to be known only as Tan, 29, said although her
room was next to the couples, she seldom saw or heard the child. Jun Wei was
unusually quiet for a boy of his age, she said.
It is learnt that the boyfriend works in a handphone shop at the housing estate
and is related to the house owner.
Skudai district police chief Assistant Commissioner Johari Yahya, who confirmed
the incident, said the case was being investigated as murder.
Mum, boyfriend nabbed over toddler's death
-by Jassmine Shadique -
THREE-YEAR-OLD Lau Jun Wei was pronounced dead when his jobless
mother brought him to a clinic in Johor Barus Taman University at 3.50pm on
Wednesday.
The 29-year-old woman claimed that the boy lost consciousness after a fall at
home. The doctor, however, felt something was amiss.
Laus body was badly bruised, showed signs that he had been tied up, his
private parts had turned blue, his anus was bleeding while his buttocks had
lesions.
There were also abrasions all over his body, including his head.
The doctor alerted police who arrested the mother and her 23-year-old boyfriend.
The couple were renting two connecting rooms in a double-storey house with two
other teachers.
Laus body was sent to Sultanah Aminah Hospital for a post-mortem.
It is learnt that Laus parents are separated and his fathers whereabouts
unknown.
Skudai district police chief Assistant Commissioner Johari Yahya said the case
is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
One of the housemates, a primary school teacher who wanted to be identified as
Theen, 26, said they rarely met.
At 3.30pm, I saw the boys mother looking pale and nervous as I was about to
go out. I didnt ask her anything but as I was about to leave, I saw her
boyfriend waiting in a taxi outside the house.
I didnt see the boy, he said.
He also said he did not know their names and that he had only seen the boy
three times since they moved in about three months ago.
Doctor: I was shocked by dead boys injuries
JOHOR BARU: The condition of three-year-old Lau Jun Wei's lifeless body
shocked the doctor who first attended to him. He had injuries on the
back of his head as well as bruises and branding marks all over his body. There
were also injuries to his genitals and rectum, police said.
UNDER REMAND: A close relative of the boy and her 23-year-old boyfriend
shielding their faces while waiting outside the magistrates court in Johor
Baru yesterday.
His eyes had blue-black marks. Old injuries all over his body suggested that he
could have been scalded with hot water some time ago. Marks on his hands
and legs also suggested that he could have been tied up. I have been a
doctor for 21 years and I have never seen a child in such a condition. I could
not sleep that night thinking of the boy's battered body, said the doctor who
did not want to be named. She was attending to a patient at her clinic
in Taman University here at 2.45pm on Wednesday when a couple barged into her
consultation room with Jun Wei and screamed that he was no longer breathing.
My heart sank when I saw the child. I knew the child was dead, she said.
Suspecting that the child was abused, the doctor alerted the police.
Johor Baru (North) OCPD Asst Comm Johari Yahya said that an unemployed
22-year-old woman who was a close relative of the boy and her 23-year-old
boyfriend have been arrested to assist in
investigations. Jun Wei: Had marks on his hands and legs
ACP Johari said the couple were being investigated for murder. The
suspects live in a double-storey house in Taman University that belongs to the
womans brother-in-law. Her husband ran away two years ago to escape loan
sharks, he said. He added that the police had also questioned other
tenants sharing the house. The tenants said they seldom saw or spoke to
the couple although they occasionally heard the boy crying.
The couple have been remanded until Oc
