An unemployed man named Ashyraf Ariff Mansor, 34, has been jailed for four years and caned three times after pleading guilty to robbing a 13-year-old boy of his iPhone 13 Pro Max, according to prosecutors. The judge, Mohd Khairi Haron, delivered the sentence to Mansor, who was charged along with his alleged accomplice, Muhamad Azam Ismail, 34, who also entered a plea of guilty.

Azam's case will be re-mentioned on November 27 for the submission of documents, and no bail was granted.
