At a separate press conference in Johor Baru, Johor police chief Comm M. Kumar said a police team raided a room at the budget hotel in Selangor at around 4.30am.

"The team also arrested a 31-year-old man who was with the victim,” he said.

Comm Kumar added that police have informed Albertine’s parents about her rescue and the child is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.

“Initially, we arrested four suspects, including two women, around Iskandar Puteri and Johor Baru.

"Their arrest then led us to the fifth suspect and the victim.

“The arrests and the girl’s rescue were made following public information,” he said, adding that all five suspects have no ties to the victim and her family.

Comm Kumar said police were investigating the case under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping and Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.

“We are still trying to determine the motive as no ransom demand was made by the suspects,” he added.

Three of the suspects were brought to the Johor Baru Court Complex on Tuesday morning for the remand process.
