TWO men were jailed yesterday for falsely imprisoning a teenage girl and her friend out of misguided loyalty.
Wong Hoi-wai, 22, and Koon Yuk-lan, 20, were found guilty of two counts of false imprisonment.
They were accused of imprisoning Cheng Ngan-mui, then 18, and detaining her against her will between January 5 and 7 last year.
The prosecution alleged the pair also detained Ng Yau-cheung, 20, against his will between January 6 and 7.
Wong Hoi-wai's brother, Wong Hoi-ming, then 19, who faced two similar charges, had jumped bail on the first day of the trial. Wong Hoi-wai was also found guilty of blackmail.
Judge Chua jailed Wong Hoi-wai for five months and Koon for four months.
She said the defendants had committed the offences out of misguided loyalty in an attempt to persuade Wong Hoi-ming's former girlfriend to stay with him.
