THREE prisoners landed in the dock in the High Court yesterday to face charges of physically and sexually assaulting a fellow inmate in a Changi Prison cell last year.

The trio, aged 20 to 21, indicated to the court that they would admit to the physical assault charges but disputed the sexual offences, saying the alleged victim was a willing party.

All three men - Iryan Abdul Karim, Muhammad Hamdan Abdul Rahman and Mohammed Zameen Abdul Manoff - were not represented by lawyers.
