SINGAPORE, Jan 21 — While in the midst of a manic relapse of his bipolar disorder, Roger Khoo Zhen Xuan mistakenly thought his friend had promised to give him a tortoise.
Khoo then broke into the other man’s home during the Covid-19 circuit breaker period in May last year to steal the reptile.
Today, Khoo pleaded guilty to one count of criminal trespass with the intention to annoy his friend and former schoolmate, Huang Guo Sheng. The charge was reduced from a more serious one of housebreaking.
