RAUB: A serial sex offender, currently serving a 133-year jail term, has claimed trial to robbery, rape and causing hurt charges which he earlier pleaded guilty to.

In October last year, Rabidin Satir, 42, or Rambo Bentong, had admitted to the charges but changed his plea yesterday. Sessions judge Shahrizat Ismail set Nov 28 for mention.

Rabidin was charged with voluntarily causing hurt in committing a robbery on a 28-year-old woman at the Bentong Forestry quarters between 3.50am and 4.30am on Nov 3, last year.

Rabidin, from Kampung Libang Ulu, Tambunan, Sabah, was also charged with raping the woman in front of her husband at the same place and time and putting the victim in fear, resulting in injuries, which could lead to her death.

He is currently on trial for the rape and murder of Annie Kok Yin Cheng, 17, between 11.30pm on March 7, 2009 and 1.50pm on March 7, 2009 at Lot 4168 Kampung Ketari, Bentong.

On Feb 5, the unemployed Rabidin was sentenced to 115 years and 50 lashes after pleading guilty on four counts of rape and one count of unnatural sex on four female victims, aged between eight and 17, between 2009 and 2011.

On March 21, he was sentenced to another 18 years in jail after pleading guilty to attacking and injuring police constable Mohd Suhaimi Md Razali, 24, with a parang at a house No 43, Taman Shahbandar Husin, Bentong at about 6pm on Nov 14 last year.
