Transcript of the Audio Recording of the Sentence in the above Case
COURT: Tse Kwok-ho, you stand convicted on your own plea of guilty on two counts of trafficking in dangerous drugs. The quantity of drugs involved in Charge 1 is 27.58 grammes of a powder containing 23.45 grammes of ketamine. The quantity of drugs involved in Charge 2 is 332.03 grammes of a powder containing 186.16 grammes of ketamine. I consider that the appropriate starting point for Charge 1 to be in the region of 4½ years, and for Charge 2 to be in the region of 8 years’ imprisonment.
Having taken everything into account urged in mitigation on your behalf, particularly your pleas of guilty and your cooperation with the police, I think that the discount reducing the sentences to one of 3 years’ imprisonment under Charge 1 and one of 5 years and 4 months’ imprisonment under Charge 2 would be appropriate. In all the circumstances and bearing in mind the principle of totality, I order these two sentences to run concurrently. You will therefore go to prison for a total of 5 years and 4 months’ imprisonment.
