    I'd generally have a bit more sympathy for the stone-broke backpacker who finds himself needing money and doing a trip.

    Why feel sorry for him? He was part of a crime family in Sligo that's responsible for distributing cocaine throughout the North West. He died because he was stupid enough to put a condom full of Cocaine in his stomach. On top of that, we don't even know what this guy was like only that he's a criminal, he could have been a cold hearted murderer for all we know as well. So yeah, I think i'll reserve my sympathy for him tbh.

    I am well aware of who he was and what he was, felling a little bit of sympathy does not mean I condone what he was doing because I don't.
    When I heard it I just thought poor idiot he thought it would never happen to him.

    I have taken cocaine several times at parties when I was younger so I don't really have a right to judge this bloke. I'm sure there are others here who have had a sniff in the past and didn't think about how it got from South America to their nose. I just think he was very stupid but I am not glad to see another human die such a horrible death.

    This is a very good point problemchimp, people who take drugs don't see themselves as bad as the ones who sell them, without a buyer there would be no need for a seller.

    I think you'll find a lot people have no issue with that... It's what they have to do to get around the law that people don't like.

    I would just make a bunch of gps-guided model boats to smuggle drugs. Something about the size of a jetski, fully sealed and with some solar panels on the deck. Let the currents do as much of the work as possible.

    Won't be quick but it'll get there eventually and a lot of the parts would be off the shelf. Something like an iPhone would have most of the sensors it needs, plus processor for the AI, and very low power consumption. Then when it reaches the coast it 'phones home' to tell you it's co-ordinates.

    Where there's demand, there's dealers.

    Honestly, it's a painful death, but he should have known about it. RIP

    I hate those people more than the criminals.

    At least criminals are honest in that regard that they're criminals rather than letting on be otherwise


    Rather than some hiney hole girl was on "banged up abroad" like she was some innocent -

    What a fool. I did not think that there were people that still tried to smuggle using this method. I wonder how crazy he got before the overdose kicked in.

    Of course they do, the fact is that if you are smuggling in this way then you are at the bottom of the barrel and most likely owe somebody either money or favours.

    Didn't say you were condoing it, I was saying that the guy is responsible for his own death for being an idiot. In regards to the other part, I was highlighting that being a criminal dosen't make it any more sympatising considering the life he leads.

    Well drugs are drugs are the end of the day. Whatever way they're brought into the country, is only part of the problem for me. It's the distribution of them throughout the North West that makes me unhappy as well.

    In the paper it said that another 2 people from Athlone were caught and would be going to Jail in Venezuela, after watching Banged up Abroad in Venezuela they are going to have a tough time but following the saying" do the crime and do the time".

    Is he?

    The lad used to sleep rough in sligo, I'd expect a crime family distributing coke to afford somewhere to live.

    Hope the lads get a good night's sleep;)

    Venezuela and its capital, Caracas, are reported to both have among the highest per capita murder rates in the world. Most murders and other violent crimes go unsolved. Armed criminal gangs often operate with impunity throughout the urban areas. The poor neighborhoods that cover the hills around Caracas are extremely dangerous. U.S. travelers have reported robberies and other crimes committed against them by individuals wearing uniforms and purporting to be police officers or National Guard members. Police investigations into kidnappings have revealed that police officers are often involved. Caracas tops list of murder capitals of the world
