MATARAM, LOMBOK - A Malaysian man on Monday was sentenced to life in prison for trafficking over 3 kilograms of methamphetamine, the Antara news agency reported.
Chow Kit Nang, also known as Cow, was found guilty of smuggling in 3.17 kilograms of methamphetamine in West Nusa Tenggara, south-central Indonesia. He was arrested at the Selaparang airport in November 2010.
Customs officers at the airport detected a suspicious image on the X-Ray Scanner while the bag of Chow was being analyzed. The law agents stopped the defendant and discovered five aluminum foiled packages.
The packages were concealed on the wall of the bag and customs officers determined that they contained quality methamphetamine. The 3.17 kilograms are worth an estimated Rp 6 billion ($700,000).
Chow, 50, was questioned by law enforcement agents before being booked. He arrived to Mataram on the island of Lombok from Malaysia. The trial began last February at the Mataram District Court.
Indonesia imposes severe sentences on drug traffickers, including life imprisonment and death penalty. Currently, there are two Australian nationals on death row for smuggling over 8 kilograms of heroin in 2005.
