Singaporean convict returns to jail voluntarily 4 days after being freed by accident
A paperwork error saw the man, who had been convicted for assaulting a police officer, released 12 weeks early
Muhammad Fathurrahman Mohd Adzlan was contacted and returned to jail four days later to complete his sentence.
In a statement on Friday, a judiciary spokeswoman said Muhammad was sentenced to 32 weeks’ jail on October 27, last year. However, this was erroneously reflected as 20 weeks.
Police officers who were deployed to look for Muhammad found him at Pasir Ris Polyclinic on July 14, last year.
While the police were checking his particulars, Muhammad began behaving aggressively, court papers stated. He refused to sit down and calm down, shouting that “police are always disturbing me” and calling one of the officers a “coward”, “Isis” and “terrorist”.
