Between 2009 and 2012, Rabidin Satir, nicknamed "Rambo Bentong", is suspected of committing several murders in Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia, although only two victims were confirmed. On 8 March 2009, Rabidin intruded the home of a 17-year-old schoolgirl Annie Kok Yin Cheng (郭婉晶 Guō Wǎnjīng), raping her before he slit her throat, killing her on the spot. Three years later, on 3 November 2012, Rabidin battered a 31-year-old forestry department employee Khairul Hazri Jamaludin to death with his homemade rifle.[1]
Rabidin, who had also committed several more rapes and property offences during his three-year crime spree in Bentong, was arrested 11 days after murdering Khairul and subsequently charged for crimes he committed.[2] Between 2013 and 2015, Rabidin was found guilty of killing both Kok and Khairul and sentenced to death, and also received multiple jail terms with caning for some other offences he committed prior to his arrest. Between 2016 and 2024, Rabidin lost his appeals against the death penalty for each of his two murder convictions, and is on death row since 2024.[3][4]
