Brit Arrested For Heroin Smuggling on Flight From Thailand

Off topic troll post removed @mlkik

So ol boy was going to poop those out and sift, then sell? Seems a strained way to make a buck, not to mention if one of those disintegrates he probably ODs. Imbecile.

Unless by Royal Pardon if you make it through the first few years.

Ifeanyi Ezeonu is a name of Igbo origin, primarily found in Nigeria. The name is commonly associated with the Igbo people, who reside in Nigeria.

He most likely is a prince, so they say.

Why would he be in prison in Thailand when he was arrested in Australia?

I thought heroin in Australia was a 1980's 90"s thing

Isn't it this ice / meth nowadays?

Obviously he is a drug courier , his court case probably won't be heard until next year now and he will be deported back to his homeland after his average 3 year sentence

A sad case

What's the 'Bangkok Hilton' got to do with his being caught in Australia?

I thought that at first, then I thought about the lyrics, ' You can check out but you can never leave' .

Being kind to the poster, perhaps he meant the courier checked out of Thailand but he couldn't escape the consequences of his actions in Thailand - you can never leave.

An optimistic opinion, I admit.

And here I thought they had a pension plan and benefits.

Try reading before spouting more nonsense.

What are you going on about this time?

Isn't he in Melbourne? In that respect at least fortunate.

I am sure his people are very proud of him

A lot of people are constantly looking for ways to make a quick buck, somehow skirt the system, and they just assume that they're more clever than the authorities.

When you're talking about smuggling hard drugs that's a very desperate move and the chances of getting caught are pretty high, there is probably a higher success rate with bank robberies than with heroin smuggling.

He is probably the one I sent my bank account details to after he promised to send £4 million to me. I’m still waiting for it by the way!😂😂

I met that guy in Newport Beach CA. His wife was hugely fat (princely) and there were four kids. He was buying $5000.00US in booze and I walked the whole family to the cash registers.

Shook his hand he said "yes, I am, the Nigerian prince". Who all you dum**as* fools send money to.

Hope he enjoys his extended stay in Australia

If it was the UK probably get shouted at or worse a slap on the wrist

With the Labour clowns in charge

It certainly doesn't sound like a traditional English name. Maybe he's from Wales?

Years ago I used to go birding in Northern Thailand, I used to see people come into the area and buy drugs. Problem was , when I was there. The Police were running the operations at ground zero. Police were with the Tribs people selling the drugs. Back then it was legal for the Tribes people to sell the drugs but illegal to buy them. That is what I was told anyway when I was in the mountains birding.

From Eastern Nigeria most likely, from where the Igbo(Ibo) people, led by General Ojukwu, attempted to overthrow the federal govt in 1967 leading to the Nigerian civil war.

The report clearly states British so I’m guessing he must be from an ancient Briton, Celtic or Pictish tribe and maybe can trace his roots back to Queen Bodicea herself or perhaps he’s descended from one of the thousands of sub-Saharan African Roman legionnaires who stayed in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire and who we are just learning about from the BBC, have enriched North West Europe with astonishing inventions, discoveries, art and culture that we are so dependant on today.

Just reading the headlines nowadays usually tells you which kind of “Brit” is involved.

No, can't be. No double LLs!

Well in a 5 star Aussie jail, with free medicare or dental care, will it really be a punishment ? They should check out those seedy gutter like jails they have in France, that are one of the worse in Europe. Many countries have the death penalty for drug trafficking, yet it just does not stop the crimes.

Maybe the world is doing it all wrong. Stop spending trillions on useless enforcement against the traffickers in Colombia or Nigeria or all over Eastern Europe. Start to focus on drug consumers.

All civilised nations should vote laws that eneble compulsory and surprise tests on all politicians, train drivers, police,. judges, journalists, any government officer or anybody in a position that deals with public....allow their local authorities to conduct sporadic drug screening tests. The results however will surely rock nationwide scanandals but it will also send a clear message, who knows ?

But let's not dream.

Obviously the legislative bodies (those who vote laws in parliament) no matter where in the world, will never vote such a laws as they know only to well about all the junkies addicts amongst their own.

His "stomach"? Are we being overly polite? Those pills have a brown residue

Surprised the body scanners you have to pass through at Departures do not detect swallowed packages. Or are they only looking for metals and explosives?

...looks like Whole Wheaten Flour to me!
