Kajang police chief, ACP Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof said the victim was found safe and well but said she was beaten by the suspect several times in their journey to the south.
“The suspect did not have any criminal record and initiative investigations found the suspect wanted the victim who is his girlfriend to return to him in Johor but the victim refused.
