Singaporean drug trafficker faces death penalty after deportation from Thailand

A Singaporean man wanted for alleged links to two cases of drug trafficking was handed a capital charge on Friday after being deported to Singapore from Thailand.

Benny Kee Soon Chuan, 31, is accused of conspiring with Low En Quan Justin to traffic in methamphetamine sometime in early December 2020, when Kee was not in Singapore.

The alleged conspiracy involved a parcel that had entered Singapore, containing 12 packets of at least 2kg of meth meant for delivery to a “Senthil Kumar” at a shop in Orchard Towers.

Kee is accused of directing Low to collect the parcel at the shop, with Low picking it up between 3.40pm and 6.40pm on December 2, 2020.

Low, 21, was later handed a capital charge. It was subsequently amended and he pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to traffic at least 249.99g of meth. He was sentenced to 22-and-a-half years’ jail and 15 strokes of the cane for his involvement.
