Police have arrested a married couple for allegedly abusing two boys, aged five and 13.
Keningau district police chief Yampil Anak Garai said the 27-year-old man and his wife, 36, were nabbed at their rented house in Keningau yesterday.
He said the couple was arrested following a report lodged by another 27-year-old man after seeing cuts and burn marks on the two boys who approached him to sell burgers.
Following an investigation, Yampil said, the police found cuts, burns, and scalding marks on both children.
“The 13-year-old boy is the stepson of the female suspect, while the five-year-old child is the couple’s adopted son,” he said today.
Yampil said the case was investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.
