BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: A man convicted of multiple theft and housebreaking offences failed in his attempt to reduce his six-year jail sentence, after the Court of Appeal dismissed his application to appeal out of time.

Fuad Ibrahim had pleaded guilty to three separate offences—housebreaking, theft in a building and house trespass—committed between January and October 2021. He was sentenced to an aggregate of six years’ imprisonment with two strokes of the cane by the Intermediate Court in September 2023.
