ENPASAR: Prosecutors at the Denpasar District Court have demanded the judges sentence a South African woman, Nomakorinte Christabell Nyolukana, to 14 years in jail for smuggling 1 kilogram of crystal methamphetamine.
The demand is much lighter than the sentencing stipulated in the Narcotics Law, which stipulates life imprisonment or the death penalty.
At the trial’s hearing on Monday, prosecutor I Putu Gede Astawa said that the 46-year-old woman had been proven guilty of illegally importing the narcotics.
Presiding judge John Tony Hutauruk said that the facts and the evidence revealed during the trial process have proven the defendant’s involvement in drug smuggling.
The trial was adjourned until next week to hear the judges’ decision.
Nyolukana was arrested by Customs and Excise officers at the Ngurah Rai International Airport on Sept. 3, as she arrived from Doha, Qatar.
