SINGAPORE: MAN GETS DEATH PENALTY FOR TRAFFICKING HEROIN

A 59-year-old man was sentenced to death in the High Court after being found in possession of 52.75 g of diamorphine, also known as heroin, for the purpose of drug trafficking.
Justice Aedit Abdullah, in judgment grounds issued on 9 September 2019, held that the case against Sulaiman Jumari had been proven beyond reasonable doubt.
He found that Sulaiman had control over the room where he had been arrested and no one else would have had access to it, and the elements of the charge had been made out by the prosecution.
Sulaiman had been nabbed by Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers while alone in a rented room in Lorong 39 Geylang on June 23, 2016. The drugs, contained in 22 packets, were recovered from a wardrobe, a bedside table and a bed in the room.
