ALLEGED DRUG MULE'S FATE HINGES ON SIR CTS Alleged drug mule's fate hinges on SIR A 21-year-old Hamilton Parish man was remanded in custody Monday after pleading guilty in Magistrates' Court to importing more than 400 grams of cannabis.

Crown Counsel Leighton Rochester said Tamiko Kywon Wainwright, of Union Street, arrived in Bermuda on a charter flight from Jamaica on March 11, 1997.

Customs officials discovered a false compartment in the bottom of one of his bags during a search. In the compartment were three packages wrapped in carbon paper, plastic, and tape.

They contained plant material which was later analysed and found to be 426 grams of cannabis.

Duty Counsel Elizabeth Christopher suggested to Magistrate Edward King that a social inquiry report would be appropriate because of Wainwright's young age.

Mr. King responded: "The social inquiry report will have to say a big, big lot -- it will have to have a whole lot of mitigating circumstances for him not to get a prison term.'' He then ordered the report.
