Kuala Lumpur - Malaysian police have arrested a local witch doctor for allegedly ordering his patient to have sex with him in order for her to be released from an evil spell, a report said on Thursday.
The 43-year old traditional medicine man was suspected to have told the patient, who was suffering from chest pains, that she was under a spell, before bringing her to a private room for her to undress.
The shaman then began molesting her as part of "cleansing rituals" and ended his session by ordering her to have sex with him in order to ensure she would be safe from future spells, the Malay-language Berita Harian newspaper reported.
After the sessions, the 24-year old woman said the witch doctor showed her three small stones and some thorns which he said were removed from her private parts, and which he claimed were causing her the chest pains.
Sensing something was amiss, the victim later lodged a police report.
At the time of the alleged crime, the patient's sister and the wife of the accused were waiting in a separate room.
