Ismail Didih Ibrahim, 36, who worked as a manager at his parents’ restaurant, reportedly threw a molotov into his ex-wife’s front porch of her landed home at Joo Chiat.
He wore a raincoat to disguise himself.
He also spraypainted “O$P$” onto her house, even though no one in that house had borrowed money from loan sharks.
He then changed outfits to avoid detection, but his actions were captured on CCTV and the in-car camera of a vehicle nearby.
Ismail pleaded guilty on Monday, 26 April, to one count of mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to cause damage, and another charge of leaving his home without a reasonable excuse during the circuit breaker (the incident happened during last year’s CB, on 12 May).
Another charge of committing mischief wll be considered for sentencing.
He is due back in court on 21 June, with him being out on bail at the moment.
