Transcript of the Audio Recording
of the Sentence in the above Case

---------------------------------

COURT: I have taken into account everything urged on your behalf. You stand convicted of one charge of trafficking in a dangerous drug. You have pleaded guilty at the Magistrates’ Court and have been committed to the High Court for sentence.

The quantity of drugs involved is 0.8 kilogramme of a mixture containing 0.66 kilogramme of heroin hydrochloride. These drugs were imported into Hong Kong and therefore calls for enhancement.

All things considered, I adopt a starting point of 20 years; enhance it by one year, making a total of 21 years. Having taken into account everything urged on your behalf, I am prepared to give you a one-third discount, thereby reducing the starting point to one of 14 years.

You are therefore sentenced to 14 years’ imprisonment.
