KUCHING: A bomoh who told a couple to put their life’s savings of RM750,000 into a coffin to cure an illness was arrested for cheating the couple.
Police arrested the bomoh, 35, and his accomplice, 47, at separate locations here last Thursday. Police also seized the coffin, which was empty, and a vehicle which the bomoh is believed to have purchased using the couple’s money.
Sarawak Commercial Crimes Investigation Department head Supt Mohd Firdaus Abdullah said the bomoh duped the couple into believing that the husband, who had fallen ill suddenly, could be cured if they gave him RM750,000 to be placed in a coffin.
“He convinced them to buy the coffin and have it kept in a certain temple in Kuching and he would place the money in it on their behalf.
“He then told them that the husband would be cured provided the money was not touched for three years,” Supt Mohd Firdaus told a press conference at the Sungai Maong police station here yesterday.
He said the incident happened middle of last year but the couple only lodged a police report last week after suspecting that they had been cheated.
