Police have detained a senior leader of an opposition party and his son on suspicion of having committed incest with a 15-year-old girl who has given birth to a baby boy.  

Jerantut Police deputy chief DSP Zakaria Kasim said the leader and his 14-year-old son were detained on Aug 22.

He said the victim delivered a baby boy three days ago at a maternity home in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

“The two suspects were released yesterday on police bond,” he told Bernama today.

He also said that police had taken DNA samples for tests from the two suspects, and the results would be known in a week.

The party leader had contested a state seat in Pahang in the last general election in 2008, but lost to a BN candidate.
