Four Malaysian men suspected of raping and molesting a businesswoman from China have been detained, local newspapers reported on Saturday.

The suspects were involved in assaulting a female Chinese national Thursday night in a hotel located in Klang, about 40 kilometers southwest of Kuala Lumpur, according to major newspapers here, including the New Straits Times, Sin Chew Daily and Nanyang Siang Pau.

The four men, reportedly including three Malaysian air force personnel, pretended to be local policemen as they approached the businesswoman on the pretext of checking her passport, the newspapers said.

One man was detained on charges of rape while the others on charges of molestation, the newspapers said.

The Malaysian authorities concerned were investigating the case, the papers added.
