| The 3 kilos of herbal cannabis linked to Vanessa Poblacion' case (File) |
Three Filipinas, one of them a domestic helper and two asylum
seekers, appeared in separate courts today, in the continuation of their drug trafficking cases.
Melene Mogol, 38 years old, appeared with co-accused Sumeet Dadwal at Kowloon City Court, charged with trafficking in a dangerous drug, or violation of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance.
The drug seized from them when they were arrested last Jan. 7 at a room in Tang Fat House on Bedford Road in Mong Kok, was not specified and quantified as it was still being analyzed in government laboratories.
However, earlier reports said more than half a kilo of methamphetamine or "ice" worth $220,000 was involved.
Pending the results of the government analysis, Acting Principal Magistrate Ko Wai-hung adjourned the case to Dec. 12.
Mogol, a domestic helper, was allowed bail of $10,000 while Dadwal was remanded in jail custody.
The Indian suspect faces a separate robbery charge for allegedly entering with
three others, the Alpha Watch and Jewelry on Granville Road in Tsim Sha Tsui and making off with 24 watches worth $39.2 million.
