PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court on Tuesday (July 9) upheld the death penalty for a serial rapist known as ‘Rambo Bentong’, who was convicted of murdering a teenager and an employee of the Bentong Forestry Department.

Rabidin Satir, 53, had applied for a review of his death sentence under the Revision of Sentence of Death and Imprisonment for Natural Life (Temporary Jurisdiction of the Federal Court) Act 2023, but a three-judge panel of the Federal Court rejected his application.
