The suspect has been taken into\ncustody. The suspect himself is still a student, said Southwest Sumba\nPolice Criminal Investigation Unit Head, First Inspector Yakobus Sanam,\nin a statement on Thursday (25\/6\/2026). In addition to assaulting IMC,\nAH also seized her iPhone 14 Pro. Yakobus explained the incident\noccurred while the victim was enjoying the sunrise at Pailiang Beach on\nFriday (19\/6). Shortly afterwards, AH appeared leading a horse and\ngreeted the victim. AH suddenly grabbed IMC\u2019s collar and tripped her,\ncausing her to fall onto her back at the water\u2019s edge. The student then\nremoved the victim\u2019s lower garments and assaulted her. When the victim\nfought back, AH gripped and forced the Australian tourist\u2019s head into\nthe seawater. The victim struggled to breathe and tried to lift her\nhead, but the suspect repeatedly pushed her head back into the water,\nYakobus added. AH also allegedly dragged IMC\u2019s body forcibly into the\nbushes along the coastal area. The terrified victim offered her phone\nand some money to avoid being raped, but AH instead beat the foreign\ntourist. The victim then handed over her iPhone 14 Pro, which the\nperpetrator seized. As the perpetrator gripped her hand and pulled her\ncollar, the victim slipped out of her shirt and fled, Yakobus said.\nAfter her phone was stolen, IMC, who was unclothed, ran to save herself\nand headed to the hotel where she was staying. The victim is known to be\na property developer from Sydney, Australia. Upon arriving at the hotel,\nthe victim met hotel staff and recounted the entire terrifying ordeal\nshe had just experienced, Yakobus continued. IMC reported the attempted\nrape and assault case on Monday (22\/6). Besides arresting AH, police\nalso confiscated evidence including black shorts, underwear, and a\ndamaged black iPhone 14 Pro. We have conducted interviews with the\ncomplainant, the victim, and witnesses at the scene. The victim has also\nundergone a post-mortem examination, Yakobus said.<\/p>",
