Kota Kinabalu: A 34-year-old bakso seller holding an IMM13 document claimed trial at the Sessions Court on Friday to four counts of raping his nine-year-old daughter.
The accused allegedly committed the offences against the child in February, April, May, and October this year at a house in Penampang.
Judge Amir Shah Amir Hassan fixed Dec 11 for pre-trial case management and ordered the man to be remanded further.
Meanwhile, the man's 29-year-old wife was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and fined RM10,000, in default one year’s jail, after pleading guilty before the same court to physically abusing the same victim.
The woman, who committed the offence at noon on Oct 22 at the Penampang house, was also ordered to serve 120 hours of community service and execute a three-year good behaviour bond of RM2,000 without deposit upon completing her custodial sentence.
