KOTA BARU: When she read how a college student was attacked and sodomised, barely a week after she herself was almost killed, it made Jamaliah Shafie's blood boil.

Something told her that the man who attacked the 20-year-old student was the same person who threw her down a well after trying to rape her last month.

"When police published a picture of the man, I was very, very angry because it was the same animal who tried to kill me," Jamaliah, 38, said at her mother's house in Labok, here.

Although her condition had improved after she was discharged from the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital early this month, the attack has left permanent emotional scars.

The sex fiend is also wanted for the attack on the college student, Janice (not her real name), who is now in hospital with spinal and ankle injuries.

A few minutes later, she untied herself and jumped from the first floor as she feared her attacker was still around, but fractured her spine and shattered her left ankle.

While police have details of the suspect's physical description, his age which is said to be in the 40s, weight, height and build, they are still unsure of his identity.

Acting State CID chief Supt Shafie Ismail said police have set up a special task force to nab the suspect but he would not comment on the progress of the hunt.
