A JERSEYMAN released from a ten-year sentence for heroin trafficking in 2002 was yesterday jailed for another decade for a similar offence.

Duncan Raffray (44) was caught with 226 gm of heroin in the Bacchus bar, La Motte Street, on 20 August last year.

The Royal Court heard that he was the first link in an Island chain.

He had been told to meet a Liverpudlian courier and his wife in the bar.

The courier, Martin Gregory (45), was jailed for six years after admitting importing the heroin on 17 August.

He swallowed the drugs in condoms before catching the ferry from Poole.

His wife, Elaine, aged 44 and also from Liverpool, was given a five-year prison sentence after admitting being concerned with drug smuggling.

Raffray had pleaded not guilty to possessing the heroin with intent to supply, but was convicted by a jury.

He was sentenced to ten years in jail in 1995 after being caught trying to smuggle heroin into the Island by post.
