Nigerian student beaten to death in Malaysia over rape allegation

A Nigerian student has died after he was beaten to death by an angry mob for allegedly trying to rape a lady in the elevator.
The incident happened at Flora Damansara apartments. It was gathered that the deceased was beaten up by the resident after the alleged raped victim screamed when the elevator opened.
A police officer who is part of the investigation into the case told MalayMailOnline


“We received a call from the security manager of the apartment who informed us of the incident.
When police arrived at 8.20pm, the suspect was surrounded by 20 to 30 people and his hands were tied.
The policemen were told the suspect had attempted to rape a woman inside a lift.
The victim put up a fight and screamed for help as the lift door opened and several men who were in the area caught the suspect.
The suspect was then taken to the police station at 8.45pm.
He was fine and he even walked into the station accompanied by policemen.
The victim, accompanied by a man, also went to the police station and filed a report.
The victim identified the suspect as the man who attacked her.
While waiting to be put in a holding cell, the suspect was handcuffed and lying on the floor.
However, we found him unconscious when one of the officers checked on him. A medical officer examined the suspect and pronounced him dead.
The suspect had injuries on the right side of his head, and had scratch marks on his legs and hands.
We are waiting for a post mortem report.”
