The Criminal Court on Monday handed down heavy jail sentences on three defendants found guilty of taking part in the bombings that rattled many spots in Bangkok thought to have been intended to embarrass the Asean foreign ministers' summit being held in the capital city on Aug 2, 2019.

Sentences ranged from life imprisonment, commuted to 40 years, to 170 years, although the maximum time served will be 50 years.
