Parviena Kissoon was yesterday remanded to prison after being slapped with the possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking charge.
Kissoon, 35, of Lot 124 Laing Avenue West Ruimveldt, pleaded not guilty to the allegation which stated that she on April 19, last, at the Georgetown Prison, had in her possession 278 grams of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
Facts presented by police prosecutor Simone Payne stated that on the day in question the defendant went to the Georgetown prison to visit and take lunch to her husband, Kevin King.
The court heard that after the woman gave him a meal, she upon entering the visiting area at the prison was seen by an officer placing her hand under her skirt and quickly removing a black bag which she then threw into a corner of the room.
She was then approached by the officer who retrieved the bag and on investigating found a plastic bag containing three parcels which contained a quantity of leaves, seeds and stems wrapped in brown scotch tape.
