I read the front page of The Star with great concern today. I noticed several inconsistencies in the report on the death of Canny Ong.

Firstly, the police have now confirmed that this horrific act was performed by a single person now in their custody.

However, previous reports have said that closed circuit security cameras showed three men involved. Two men forced Canny into the back seat of her Proton Tiara while the third drove the car. Such details were later denied by the police saying that such evidence never surfaced in the first place.

Thinking logically, it would have been very difficult for a man the size of the alleged perpetrator to overpower Canny all by himself. Canny must have put up a little fight. Even if a weapon was used, the perpetrator would have to carry her into the back seat of the car and then proceed into the driver's seat.

The incident occurred roughly between 9.45pm and10pm, a time when most people leave shopping malls - the risk of getting caught is high. There must have been witnesses, even to the slightest shout or commotion. But no, this was a swift operation which leaves no doubt in my mind that there were more than one alleged perpetrator.

The modus operandi of the perpetrator probably showed that he is "power assertive". His victim could have been pre-selected or opportunistic, i.e too good to pass up. However the location is a mystery.

Such power assertive random rapists would usually choose a convenient and secluded place - not a car park in a shopping mall at peak time! Such rapists also usually do not harm the victims. Sadism, perhaps? What was the exact motive?

It is also illogical that security cameras did not reveal much. Either the perpetrator knew the security measures there or the cameras are not well located. Was the suspect videotaped at the parking lot or is there physical evidence linking him to the crime at Bangsar?

Was the suspect a frequent visitor to Bangsar shopping centre, a 'higher-class' shopping complex? Has he worked there before? Why did he choose a time period when shoppers were leaving the complex Did he know which escape route to take? Many questions are unanswered.

Secondly, two detectives reportedly stopped the vehicle and spoke to the driver and even managed to get identify cards of the driver and victim. Several inconsistencies here.

One, the police should have noticed something amiss. How often do drivers carry their passenger's identity cards? How did the suspect produce both documents? Was the victim conscious at the time? If she was, I have no doubt she would have sought help. If she was unconscious, shouldn't the police have attempted to revive her?

Two, why on earth did the two officers casually return to the police station and not radio for backup? The car obviously sped off while the police were questioning the driver. This is absurd if it is the truth. But is it?

It is amazing how the police is so eager to close this case. The investigation is only as good as its investigators, and this case is far from over. I strongly urge someone in this field to pursue the matter. Justice must be done.
