Summary
- Edinburgh couple arrested in Sydney hotel.
- 107kg of ketamine was seized by Australian police.
- New charges include participating in a criminal group.
An Edinburgh couple has been charged with additional offences in Australia following a significant drug seizure. Demi McDaid, 23, and her partner Jack Farrelly, 30, were apprehended in a Sydney hotel at the end of June. This arrest followed the discovery of 107kg of ketamine in a vehicle parked at the accommodation.
Australian authorities have now laid further charges against the couple. They appeared at Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court, where they were formally charged with participating in a criminal group, contributing to criminal activity. These new charges are in addition to existing counts of supplying a prohibited drug and supplying a prohibited drug in large commercial quantities.
Both McDaid and Farrelly are currently awaiting further proceedings. Neither individual has yet entered a plea in relation to any of the charges. The legal process is ongoing in Australia.
