Deadly 'rum' smuggled into Gatwick was liquid cocaine
A man died after unwittingly drinking liquid cocaine concealed in a rum bottle, a court has heard.

Lascell Malcolm, 63, a father of two, accepted the bottle as a gift from a friend who did not realise she had been used as a drugs mule, jurors were told.

Martin Newman, 50, is alleged to have given the bottle to Antoinette Corlis who flew into Gatwick in May 2009.

Mr Newman, of Romford, Essex, denies manslaughter and importation of drugs at Croydon Crown Court.

2. Apparently some people still haven't learned the lesson
that you don't accept packages from strangers in the airport and agree to be the person who transports them...
