KUALA LUMPUR: Another woman has fallen victim to the serial splasher, this time in Wangsa Maju, the first reported in the area since the attacks began early March.
This makes it a total of 21 people who have been splashed with corrosive liquid, although police have yet to release a photofit or CCTV footage of the suspect. City police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said the woman, in her 30s, was splashed with the corrosive liquid while she was in her car Friday morning."The 8.45am incident occurred near Section 10, Wangsa Maju. "The woman was driving with her window down, when a man on a motorcycle splashed her," he told reporters after a shooting competition between city police and the media at the Police Training Academy (Pulapol) here. DCP Zulkifli said police were investigating if the latest case was related to multiple splasher incidents since March. The attacks began on March 2 when eight students and a teacher from SK Bukit Bandaraya in Jalan Bangkung, Bangsar, were splashed with a burning liquid by a motorcyclist. Since then, more than 20 people have suffered minor or severe burns from such attacks. The latest incidents were last week when five others, including a year-old baby, were splashed with the liquid within a 48-hour period.
Dear Colleagues especially LADIES, Last Friday night, 6th May 2011 I was at the KLH Hospital Emergency Unit – I taken back by this crowd of family waiting for a family member in the emergency unit. I asked one of the family members, why are they at the emergency and they said that their sister was just splashed with acid or some kind of alkaline near Puduraya at 8.00pm. (This route is quite near to our area). Anyway, this victim was splashed directly to her face and some of the liquid went in her throat thus making her throat swollen and has difficulty in breathing. One of her eyes were also splashed. Her friends were a bit lucky with some burns on their hands. At that time I was in the emergency unit, they have put a tube in her throat and if she has digested the liquid her stomach the damage done were unknown. Half an hour later, I heard another victim were splashed with acid at The Mall on the same night. The brother of this victim informed police to try and trace this guy from the CCTV from Puduraya to The Mall. Well, let’s hope that the police can apprehend this culprit soon. These victims were attacked by a man on his motorbike, this person is wearing a black full faced helmet with black jacket and on a Honda motorbike. He has a bottle in his hand. He just splash the liquid and hold the bottle. Once they managed to get the registration number of his motorbike but it was a fake one. He prowls at victims in a crowded area. It seems, he likes to splash on women with “tudung”. Be very careful, do NOT walk too near to the roadside where he can easily splash on you. Carry a bottle of water so that you can wash this liquid away if he splashes on you. Avoid crowded areas. Do NOT try to be helpful if a person on a motorbike try to ask for help, let a man help them. Hope this message is helpful to all. Please convey this message to your friends and family members.
