Pinay drug carrier sentenced to Death by Vietnam court

Another pinay was found guilty and sentenced to death in Vietnam, a court in Ho Chi Minh City handed down a death sentence to Donna Buena Mazon, 41 year old. Donna was caught with two bags of cocaine at Tan Son Nhat International Airport on Dec. 31, 2013. 

She came on a Qatar Airways flight from Brazil.

In the first trial, Mazon was sentenced to death, but she appealed for a more lenient sentence and the court put down the sentence for re-investigation and retrial. On April 15, the 41-year-old Donna was sentenced for the second time into death penalty by Ho Chi Minh City's Peoples court for smuggling almost 1.5 kgs. of cocaine.

Mazon admitted that she was hired by a certain Precious Rudica as a drug mule for a fee of USD3000 with flight tickets and visas. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) refused to comment on the incident saying it is still verifying the report.

In 2014, Emmanuel Sillo Camacho, 39, was also sentenced to death by a Hanoi court for transporting 3.4kgs of cocaine from Brazil into Noi Bai International Airport, also in December 2013.

Thanh Nien news quoted Camacho as saying that he smuggled the drugs for a Filipina, named Jessica who was living in Brazil. Jessica promised to find him a job with a monthly salary of $1000 to $1500 in the South American country.

Dozens of foreigners, including Filipinos have been sentenced to death from drugs offenses.
