A noble woman she is.......

A mother allowed herself to be sexually violated by an armed intruder at her home in Kampung Jawa here, last week to protect her children. The woman, a 38-year-old housewife, was raped repeatedly while her four children were locked up, crying in an adjoining room.

The incident occurred at 5.45am when the woman was woken up by a man armed with a pair of scissors.

The suspect, who covered his face with a piece of child's clothing, was believed to have broken into the house through a window.

He covered the woman's mouth with his hand and held a pair of scissors to her neck. The suspect warned the woman not to shout for help or he would kill her.

The victim was told to hand over her jewellery and cash.

The woman bundled RM300, two mobile phones, a bracelet and a pair of earrings into a pillowcase and handed it to the suspect.

The suspect then told the woman that he was going to rape one of her daughters and this was when she pleaded with him to take her instead.

By then, the children had woken up and the suspect locked them in the room. The woman's husband was away on a business trip.

He then went back to the mother, who allowed him to undress and rape her.

The woman later told police that instead of a condom, the suspect wrapped his private parts with a plastic bag - NST
