Kuching Teen Stages Fake Kidnapping to Extort RM18,000 from Own Mother — Pleads Guilty
-
A 19-year-old woman in Kuching pleaded guilty to extorting RM18,000 from her own mother by staging a fake kidnapping.
The unemployed teenager sent WhatsApp messages to her mother using a man's profile, claiming she had been abducted and would be killed unless the ransom was paid. The alleged 'kidnapping' took place at a residence in Taman Perniagaan Setia, Johor Bahru on June 18.
Her mother, terrified for her daughter's life, lodged a police report. But investigators quickly discovered the whole thing was orchestrated by the teen herself.
Details:
- Charged under Section 387 of the Penal Code (max 10 years + whipping)
- Sentencing postponed to Aug 4 for a social report
- Judge Iris Awen Jon dismissed her excuse that she 'needed money to buy something for her mother'
- No prior criminal record, currently in remand
Location: Sessions Court, Kuching
