Five women were arrested at Singapore’s Changi Airport after nearly 27 kilograms of cocaine was allegedly discovered hidden in their luggage during a transit stop and now may face the death penalty.
Each woman has been charged under Singapore’s Misuse of Drugs Act. Trafficking more than 30 grams of cocaine carries a mandatory death penalty, making this a capital case.
The suspects include Chung Ka Yiu, 21, a Hong Kong national, and four Kenyan nationals: Faith Awino Ouma, 27; Genetrix Atsieno Juma, 27; Joyce Njeri Mburu, 30 and Margaret Kawira Mungai, 32.
