SIBU: A 65-year-old man claims he was relieved of his wallet by a woman and a transvestite after they forced him to have a body massage.

He told police that he was walking alone in a back lane towards Central Market around 9am yesterday when the woman and transvestite accosted him and forced him into a nearby hotel for a body massage.

Once inside the pair’s room, the senior citizen said the woman proceeded to forcibly remove his clothes, which he had tried to resist by pushing her away.

At that point, the transvestite took his wallet and pushed him out of the room after he had dressed himself.

He then made his way out of the hotel and contacted the police for help.

Following a report lodged by the victim, a police team went to hotel and arrested the 35-year-old woman and 28-year-old transvestite.

District police chief ACP Zailaini Amit confirmed the pair’s arrest when contacted yesterday, saying police are probing the case under Section 395 of the Penal Code for gang robbery.
