British man gets 9 years, compatriot faces 8 for Bali drug charges
The Denpasar District Court handed down a nine-year prison term to Baath Jarnail Singh for possessing over 1.4 kilograms of cocaine and heard a sentence demand of eight years for Darren Granville Craig over drug trafficking charges, both on Sept. 1.
Two British nationals faced sentencing at the Denpasar District Court in Bali on September 1, 2023. Baath Jarnail Singh, 53, was sentenced to nine years in prison for possessing over 1.4 kilograms of cocaine, while Darren Granville Craig faced a possible eight-year term for drug trafficking charges. Singh's sentence was reduced from the prosecutor's demand of ten years due to his admission of guilt, remorse, and promise not to re-offend.
Police discovered the drugs during a raid on his hotel room in Legian on February 12, based on a tip about an alleged international drug network.
