The son of controversial blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin today pleaded guilty at the Shah Alam Magistrate's Court on four counts of theft as well as being in possession of stolen goods.

According to Bernama, Raja Azman Raja Petra, 32, whose address was stated as No 5, Jalan BRP 5/5, Bukit Rahman Putra, Sungai Buloh, pleaded guilty after the charges were read out by a court interpreter.

He was accused of stealing a Yamaha RX-Z motorcycle belonging to 24-year-old production operator Mohd Syaiful Setapa resulting in a loss of RM8,000 at No 65, Jalan Batas 2, 19/6B, Section 19, Shah Alalm, on March 20 at 9.30am.

Raja Azman, who was arrested on May 6, also admitted to breaking into Mohd Syaiful's house and stealing a wallet, containing RM20, the motorcycle’s road tax, two ATM cards and a driving licence on the same day.

Apart from this, the accused also confessed to stealing a mobile phone and wrist watch worth RM3,850 belonging to student Saipul Adli Mohamed Yunus, 21, at the victim's house in Section U2 in Shah Alam on April 24 at 10am.

Bail not posted

Raja Azman, who was not represented, also admitted to being in possession of a stolen motorcycle belonging to student Ahmad Firdaus Jalaluddin, 23, worth RM6,000.

Magistrate Norkamilah Aziz set bail at RM10,500 and fixed June 19 for sentencing.
