A court in Equatorial Guinea on Monday sentenced British mercenary Simon Mann to 34 years and four months in prison for his confessed role in a failed 2004 coup plot in the oil-producing West African state.

The sentencing by the three-judge panel followed Mann's four-day trial in Malabo last month in which the Eton-educated former army special forces officer admitted his part in the conspiracy to topple President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
