SINGAPORE - A 27-year-old man who posted a photo on Facebook of his wife having sex with her work supervisor, calling the supervisor a "homewrecker" in his caption, was sentenced to 13 weeks' jail on Friday (Dec 3).

Tan, then 24, also promised Mahadevan a 50-50 split of the amount. On Monday (Nov 29), Mahadevan, now 29, was sentenced to 18 months' jail after he pleaded guilty to one count of criminal intimidation. The Singaporean committed the offence while he was under a remission order, just months after he was released from prison in late 2019 over crimes not stated in court documents. As part of the order, he was supposed to keep out of trouble from Oct 9, 2019 to Aug 28 last year. For breaching it, he now has to spend an additional 59 days behind bars.
