Kidnappers murder schoolgirl, torch body and demand ransom from family
JOHOR BARU, Sept 16 - A group of youths kidnapped a 16-year-old schoolgirl, murdered her and torched the body in Kulai Jaya last Friday.
The kidnappers then demanded a RM33,000 ransom from Lai Ying Xin's family to secure her "release"!The family paid the ransom - unaware that the victim's body had been dumped in undergrowth in Taman Putri.
Police believe the teenager was murdered within 24 hours of being kidnapped in front of a supermarket where she was working part-time.
Johor police deputy chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said a police team arrested a 16-year-old school dropout and two men in a Perodua Kembara in Kulai at 6.15pm yesterday.
He said two-thirds of the ransom money was seized from the suspects. Tun Hisan said about an hour later, another 16-year-old suspect was nabbed to facilitate investigations.
