A 36-year-old doctor, Rayson Lee Rui Sheng, and his 29-year-old associate, Tan Li Ming, were sentenced to one year in jail each on Wednesday for consuming ecstasy. The pair were arrested during a police raid at a villa on Singapore’s Sentosa Island.
During the trial, the defendants claimed their drinks had been spiked, but the presiding judge rejected this defense, citing inconsistencies in the men's accounts and their observed behavior on the night of the party. Both individuals intend to appeal their convictions.
