Another six people from the illegal gathering on Lazarus Island were fined $3,000 each yesterday.

British nationals William Edwin Dunford, 32, Richard Henri Lagesse, 31, Lowri Mair Jeffs, 31, Zoe Louise Cronk, 30, Jeff Richard Alexander, 32, and Singaporean Natalie Joanna Sarkies, 29, each pleaded guilty to a charge of breaching Covid-19 regulations.

The regulations prohibit social gatherings of more than five who do not stay in the same residence.

The group of 12 took a ferry to St John's Island at around 11am on Aug 8 before walking to the beach at Lazarus Island.

There, they engaged in various activities before taking a ferry back to the mainland at about 6pm.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Timotheus Koh said Sarkies posted photos of the trip on social media, featuring the 12 of them.

Repeat offenders can be jailed for up to a year or fined up to $20,000, or both.- DAVID SUN
