The Magistrate’s Court on Thursday handed jail and caning sentences to a pair of thieves, while another pair denied the same charges of theft and mischief.
Mohammad Ismahadi bin Saidi, 28, was sentenced to 12 months’ jail and two strokes of the cane, while Tamil bin Johari, 53, received 20 months’ jail and two strokes of the cane.
As Tamil is exempt from caning, Senior Magistrate Azrimah binti Haji Abdul Rahman ordered him to settle a fine of BND1,000, or serve an additional month’s jail in default of payment.
Meanwhile, Muhd Dahlan bin Abdullah, 35, and Mohammad Khirul Rizam bin Mohd Shahmin, 37, have denied the same charges and will go for trial.
