A court in the central Quang Tri Province sentenced three men to death Tuesday for sending three kilograms of methamphetamine through an express delivery company.

Le Ngoc Anh, 34, Nguyen Ba Chung, 27, and Nguyen Huu Loc, 25, of Dong Ha Town were found guilty of "illegal transportation of narcotic substances," by the Quang Tri People's Court.

In August last year Anh had been hired over phone by an unidentified person to receive, pack and deliver the meth to nearby Quang Nam Province. He would be paid VND40 million (US$1,600).
