KOTA KINABALU: Two men who kidnapped a 22-year-old university student, raped her and forced her to perform oral sex on them were jailed a total of 101 years and ordered to be given 45 strokes of the rotan.

Mohd Arifin Bidin, 29, was sentenced to 56 years' jail and 25 strokes of the rotan, while his friend Mohd Sahrizal Suhaili, 21, was given a 45-year jail term and 20 lashes.

The sentences were meted out by Sessions Court judge Duncan Sikodol after the duo pleaded guilty to eight charges of kidnapping, raping, forcing to perform oral sex and causing grievous hurt to the girl.

Mohd Sahrizal, an unemployed from Kota Belud, was charged with raping the girl between 6.50pm and 10pm on April 15 at the old Kota Kinabalu-Tambunan road and forcing her to perform oral sex on him at the same time and place.

He received 20 years' imprisonment and 10 strokes of the rotan for the former and 15 years' jail and five lashes for the latter.

He was sentenced to jail terms of 23 years' and ordered caned 10 times for each of the charges.

Sikodol ordered the jail sentences for both accused to run concurrently.

Serves them right! But I think they deserve more than that, like 50 strokes of the cane each! They devastated the girls future. I just can't imagine the trauma she had gone thru.May God Almighty Bless You Girl.

I served many years in prison.....and I know how it feels like when one is deprived of human liberty. Capital punishment has to go....man suffers when deprived of freedom alone! They will learn their lessons....but let God do the rest!

Those peoples not human.. even worse than animal... they don't deserve to live in this earth... instead i hope they disappear forever. shame to be human without contribution but destroying our civilization society, some more is to who is more capable than them to give contributions to our country.
Useless to live, waste government money to "rear" them inside the jail.
i know we should give chance to everyone but, i think this society can't bear with their behavior. they keep on to commit crime.. useless than rubbish in the world...
i heard before that, other countries use these sin persons to do the scientific experiment.i think this is the only 1 thing they can contribute to the society.. however it is implement in oversea.

castrating? good idea anonymous!.. they should be punished in front of public (public canning).
mmg kejam 2 ekor tu, hukuman tu pun sudah kira paling ringan, actually hukuman mati pun terlalu ringan.
we should let scientist used them as 'specimens'. sbb tikus makmal pun lebih bagus dari 2ekor ni.

May God bless the girl.

jss.
