Malaysian police have busted a brothel in an abandoned pigsty after housewives complained that their husbands spent a surprising amount of time there, police said on Thursday.
The pigsty, with 20 cubicles, was furnished with tables, fans, a bar serving alcohol, neon lights and a sound system, Selangor state criminal-investigations department chief Abu Bakar Mustafa said.
”We were tipped off about the place after several housewives complained that their husbands were spending too much time at this ‘pigsty’,” Abu Bakar said.
Police placed the pigsty under surveillance before moving in on Wednesday, arresting three prostitutes from China, a Malaysian pimp and 30 clients, he said. Other prostitutes managed to escape.
Police released the clients, mainly local businessmen and fishermen, after recording their statements, Abu Bakar said. — Sapa-AFP
