A couple who said they were travelling to Manchester for their 'honeymoon' have ended up in jail after their suitcases were found stuffed full of cannabis.
Jeng Chow, 30, and Ley Wat, 25, were travelling from their native Malaysia with 28 vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana and had even made a stop over in Qatar.
But the couple, understood to be engaged, were arrested in Terminal 2 of Manchester Airport in April.
The Class B drugs were worth £99,000 at wholesale prices but the street value would have been 'much higher', Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
Wat, who was said to be in debt, was in contact with smugglers and promised cash following a successful handover.
