A WARNING TO OTHERS, SAYS JUDGE
Yao Cho-sien, a 30-year-old Police constable, was sentenced to five years' hard labour and 12 strokes of the cane by Mr Justico C. W. Reece at the Criminal Sessions this morning when a jury of four women and three men unanimously found him guilty of robbing a grocery shop.
Mr Justice Reece remarked that the sentence would be a warning to other members of the Police Force who might be similarly minded to abuse the confidence the public placed in them. "I Six hope there are none," he added.
