Transcript of the Audio Recording of the Sentence in the above Case
COURT: The Accused, you have pleaded guilty in the Magistrates’ Court to trafficking in a dangerous drug consisting of 2.48 kilogrammes of a powder containing 1.96 kilogrammes of ketamine, and you have been committed to this court for sentence.
I have taken into account everything said on your behalf, including your mitigation letters. In my view, it is appropriate to adopt a starting point of 15 years’ imprisonment. The only real mitigation available to you is your guilty plea. For that I give you a discount of one-third. Accordingly, I sentence you to 10 years’ imprisonment.
