This afternoon, lawyers from both sides met in chambers for about ten minutes and left in a hurry.

Fricker is accused of these offences with Lloyd Dane Alexander, a Briton, who skipped town after the incident.

And for entering protected property, he can be fined up to S$1,000 and or jailed up to two years. - CNA/vm
