A 30 year old air hostess yesterday was interrogated for over six hours following the discovery of her name on a parcel containing 7.5 kilogrammes of concealed cocaine intended for delivery to Australia. The narcotics were hidden in 15 1-metre-long cushions within the parcel, initially intended for a Thai female student residing in Australia. The student had previously posted on Facebook about receiving parcels from Thailand.
The latest update occurred at 10pm yesterday (January 3), at Rattanathibet Police Station in Nonthaburi. The air hostess, Mew (real name withheld), and her family met with investigators to offer their testimonies as witnesses. Her name and phone number were found on the parcel of drugs. Police spent over six hours interrogating her before she immediately returned home.
Initial police reports, informed by evidence officers, revealed that the white powder found was heroin, weighing 7.5 kilogrammes and valued at over 20 million baht (US$579,550) in Thailand. If successfully delivered to Australia, the value would multiply dramatically, reported Khao Sod.
