SENTENCE
Dodin J
[1] I have heard counsel in mitigation. The 1st Convict is 55 years old and is a mother. The 2nd Convict is 29 years old and the 3rd Convict is 37 years old. They are all first offenders. They have pleaded guilty and saved the Court’s time.
[2] Counsel has stated they have shown remorse and of course saved the Court the expenses of a long trial. They have all been in custody for about 5 months now so I shall impose the following sentences on each Convict;
Count 1
I impose a sentence of 6 months imprisonment on each Convict.
Count 2
I impose a sentence of 6 months imprisonment plus a fine of SR30,000 each on each Convict.
[3] The sentences shall run concurrently and the time spent on remand shall count towards the sentence. That means they would have already served the sentence.
[4] I further recommend that they leave the jurisdiction as soon as the fines are settled failing which they shall be deported as prohibited immigrants.
Signed, dated and delivered at Ile du Port on 8 February 2016
