Sarawak police have scored a 100 percent success rate in solving all the 149 reported cases of rape in the state last year.

State Criminial Investigation Department (CID) chief SAC Dev Kumar said the majority of the cases were statutory rapes involving consenting minors.

"Only three cases involved violence. We have scored a 100 percent success rate in solving all these reported cases.

"All suspects too had been arrested and most of the them had been charged in court," he said here today.

He said the state CID treated all violent crimes against women seriously.

"I have directed all district CID chiefs and the Sexual Crimes Unit (D11) not to treat reports of Violence Against Women and Children lightly.

"These cases must be investigated expeditiously and the culprits brought to book," he said.

Meanwhile Dev said for this year, two rape cases here, including one that involved a minor, had been reported.

The rape cases reported in Sarawak last year was an increase of five cases or three percent as compared to that reported in 2014, he said.
