The two abducted women who were rescued by the Philippines special security forces being ushered by police in plain clothes to waiting vehicles upon arrival at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport at 10.05pm today.
The two abducted women, who were kidnapped from a resort in Semporna, arrived at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport at 10.05pm from Sandakan today.
They were quickly ushered by the police to waiting vehicles parked just outside the airport.
Gao Hua Yuan, 29, who was seen in a dark jacket and cap, sat in the backseat while Marcy Dayawan, 40, who was clad in green T-shirt and black pants, sat in the front passenger seat.
China-national Gao was kidnapped from the balcony of her room while holidaying at the Singamata Reef Resort in Semporna on April 2 by a group of armed men at around 10.30pm.
Gao, who was abducted with resort staff Marcy, a Filipina, had been kept in captivity at a location in Jolo, in the Southern Philippines, for nearly two months before they were rescued by the special security forces there at around 10am today.
They arrived at Sandakan today at 4.30pm before boarding the 9.30pm flight to Kota Kinabalu.
The duo are expected to be flown to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow morning.
The rescue of the two women were disclosed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in a series of tweets earlier.
“I have just been briefed by @PDRMsia that the two women abducted from a resort in Sabah last April have been rescued by our authorities.
“We are taking steps to facilitate the return of the Chinese national to her home as soon as possible.
“No ransom paid to secure their release. Success due to cooperation of Malaysia & Philippines security forces. I thank all involved,” he wrote.
