Razali Osman has been sentenced to 20 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane for attempted aggravated rape, housebreaking and sexual assault, after spending a significant amount of time in prison from 1993 to 2012 for similar offences, including the rape of three women.
In Oct. 2012, the 43-year-old, frustrated that his sister's tenant did not reciprocate his feelings for her, had leapt into her bedroom from the parapet outside the apartment and assaulted her.
He was caught on Oct. 24 after evading arrest for a few days.
