Heroin mum jailed in Bangkok

             Heroin mum jailed in Bangkok

Last year Thai police arrested Jane McKenzie for carrying 115g of heroin from Bangkok to Sydney.
She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 50 years in jail.
She was jailed in Bangkok this week .


When l read this newspaper article l was very shocked because she just carried a small quantity of heroin (115g) but the sentence was 50 years. It was a severe sentence and I absolutely agree with the people who were against this law punishment.
