Life sentence slashed for 'brutal' rapist

A man who repeatedly beat his terrified wife with a metal pole while he raped her three times has had his life sentence overturned.

Dawn Predigest was attacked by her husband Zing, 48, in his basement recording studio.

He was jailed for life after admitting rape at Maidstone Crown Court last October.

But he has now convinced the Court of Appeal in London that the life term was wrong. He will now serve an indefinite sentence for public protection of at least five years.

Ms Predigest, who has waved her right to anonymity, said her husband has shown no regret for his horrific attack.

She said: “I would have liked to think he would have shown some remorse for what he has done to me, to my children, to the family.

“But from what I can perceive, there is no remorse.

“The attitude is still very much that I deserved to get what I got.”
