However, the Court of Appeal increased the sentence to 10 years against the two Africans and to five years against the two Asians in the June 2020 case when a foreman reported the death of a guard of a site under construction in the International City.
The foreman testified that in the early hours of the incident he received a call from a worker telling him that he saw the guard tied down with an adhesive tape on his neck and lying down on his face and a police team of detectives collected inferences and reliable information that four people were involved in the incident and the defendants were arrested.
