SARAWAK, Malaysia – The body of a 15-year-old girl was stripped of her clothes and raped after it had been buried for three days.
The corpse was found naked, with the deceased’s green shirt, black pants and underwear discarded on the ground beside of the grave.
The assailant had replaced the lid of the coffin and then buried it again.
Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that the corpse was discovered by her family members after they went back to the grave three days after the burial.
They were shocked to find the body lying naked outside the coffin. The family hurriedly re-buried her.
According to Lianhe Wanbao, this is the first time such an incident has happened in the area. The case is still under police investigation.
The girl had died of an illness.
Not a solo act
The district chief for the area said the assailant may have other motives for committing this crime.
Lianhe Wanbao reported him as saying that the entire incident looked very organised and was not something that could be executed by one person.
Residents in the area speculated as to what could be the cause of the incident. However, none of the rumours were confirmed as the girl’s family did not accept any interviews.
