Swiss Executive's Appeal Against Singapore Vandalism Sentence Is Adjourned
Swiss executive Oliver Fricker’s appeal for a reduction of his five-month jail and three strokes of the cane sentence for breaking into a Singapore depot and spray-painting a commuter train was adjourned until Aug. 13.
Singapore Court of Appeal Judge V.K. Rajah today granted Fricker’s lawyer Derek Kang the time to examine fresh evidence that the prosecution, which is also appealing the sentence, sought to introduce. Both Kang and deputy public prosecutor Kan Shuk Weng declined to comment on the evidence.
Fricker, 32, along with an accomplice, painted SMRT Corp.’s train with the words “McKoy Banos” on May 17. Singapore police have placed a global alert for the arrest of British citizen Lloyd Dane Alexander, 29, who was named as an accomplice.
The case is Fricker Oliver v Public Prosecutor MA232/2010 in the Singapore High Court.
