KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 — A man was arrested yesterday for trespassing into the home of his ex-lover and damaging property after it is believed that the woman had ended their relationship.
Ampang Jaya district police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail said that last Wednesday (September 18), while the 24-year-old victim was in her room in Taman Melawati, Ampang, at 1.30pm, she heard stones being thrown at her window, and upon checking found the man standing in her house compound.
The 31-year-old unemployed suspect then broke the glass door at the back of the victim’s house by using a dumbbell while shouting out her name.
“The victim then hid in her bathroom and called the police, while the man tried to break down her room door by kicking it and using a dumbbell but failed,” he said in a statement today.
Azam added that the suspect was arrested in Petaling Jaya at 5.50pm yesterday and has been remanded for four days starting today. He was found to have 13 past criminal records.
"The estimated damage to the house, which belongs to the victim's father, as a result of the incident is about RM20,000," he said.
