The Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday handed a four months’ jail sentence to a local woman for trespassing into government property.
Siti Nadiah binti Azmi, 31, pleaded guilty to the charge of trespassing into a flat house owned by Islamic Religious Council Brunei at Mumong Bypass in Kuala Belait at 4am on January 30.
The defendant started a fire in the property in order to get her boyfriend’s attention, who lives just below.
Magistrate Syaffina binti Shahif found the case aggravated paired with the fact that the defendant had repeatedly trespassed into the property since 2022 and having started a fire in the property, which could have gone worse if it had not been extinguished by her boyfriend.
