JOHOR BAHRU: The main suspect in the attempted kidnapping of a Chinese national’s 7-year-old son here on Dec 12 has been charged under Section 363 of the Penal Code.
The Chinese national, who has permanent resident (PR) status in Singapore, was seriously injured while rescuing his son from a group of men who had sped off with the boy in a car at about 4.30pm.
Johor Bahru Selatan police chief Raub Selamat said police arrested the main suspect, a 41-year-old man, in front of the Taman Pelangi police station on the same day.
“The main suspect is the business partner of the boy’s father, who is also 41 years old. The suspect planned the kidnapping with three accomplices for a RM300,000 ransom.
“However, no ransom was paid,” he said in a statement.
Raub said the main suspect, a car mechanic, was charged with kidnapping under Section 363 of the Penal Code at the magistrates’ court here yesterday.
He added that police were on the hunt for three local men in their 30s, believed to be the main suspect’s accomplices.
Earlier, it was reported that a kidnapping had been foiled by a Singaporean PR who claimed he sustained serious injuries and lost several teeth while saving his son from being abducted. - FMT
