IPOH - Three individuals, including a woman, were arrested by the police yesterday on suspicion of being involved in the rape and abuse of a seven-year-old girl in Manjung.

Acting Manjung district police chief DSP Chong Boo Kim said the suspects were arrested after the girl was brought to the Majung police station at 11.50 am yesterday by a man who found her by a road side.

"The police sent the victim to Seri Manjung Hospital for treatment and the results of the examination revealed that the victim had been raped and abused and there were traces of old and new injuries.
