PUTRAJAYA: A lorry driver was sentenced to 20 years in jail and ordered to be given 20 strokes of the rotan after losing the appeal to set aside his conviction on two counts of raping his sister-in-law.

A Court of Appeal panel comprising Justices Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said, Datuk Nordin Hassan and Datuk Hashim Hamzah dismissed the man's appeal against his conviction after finding that his appeal had no merit.
