Five-times champion horse trainer Brian Kan Ping-chee will spend his third consecutive birthday in prison after the Court of Appeal increased his sentence for vote-buying to 12 months yesterday.

Kan, 75, had already served his original three-month sentence and failed twice to have his conviction overturned when prosecutors appealed against the sentence.
