RA-62RS-1-01/2026 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

Court accepted guilty plea and mitigation but found offences serious: elderly victims targeted by deceptive modus operandi in separate incidents at different times/places with different victims; one-transaction rule inapplicable; public interest and deterrence justify consecutive custodial sentences. Imposed 6 years' imprisonment for each robbery: first sentence to run from arrest date (07/01/2026), second to commence after completion of first; exhibits handed to prosecution for disposal or return to owners.

The High Court held there was no error of law or principle in the trial judge's sentencing exercise; the judge properly balanced public interest and mitigation, considered the seriousness of robbery under s.392 and the need for deterrence, and the eight-year imprisonment was not manifestly excessive and therefore must be upheld.

JA-62RS-49-12/2021 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

Court found the charge properly framed and the guilty plea was voluntary and supported by facts; guilty plea warranted some discount but was outweighed by seriousness of robbery and prior gang‑robbery conviction; imposed three years imprisonment (within s.392 PC maximum) and ordered it to commence at the expiration of the earlier 24‑month sentence imposed by the Magistrate pursuant to s.292(1) CPC, with sentences to run consecutively.
