THE Magistrate’s Court yesterday handed a one-year jail sentence to two local men after finding them guilty of a charge of car theft following the conclusion of trial.

Abdul Azim bin Isham Shah, 23, and Mohammad Faiq bin Haslan, 18, stole a car from the parking lot of Flat Bandaran in Kampong Sinarubai during the wee hours of March 23 last year.

Chief Magistrate Pengiran Masni binti Pengiran Haji Bahar found DPP Dr Mohd Hussin Ali bin Idris to have proven the case beyond the court’s reasonable doubt, with 10 witnesses giving evidence throughout the trial.

A co-defendant had pleaded guilty to the same charge at the start of the case, was sentenced, and gave evidence during the duo’s trial.
