A 73-YEAR-OLD woman attempted to traffic "ice" to make money to cure her cardiovascula disease as she did not want to add burden to her children.
The woman surnamed Chen was caught on a train in southwest Yunnan Province, carring 545 grams of "ice", City Times reported today.
Chen, a widow living in rural Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, has no income. She told police that she was suffering from high blood pressure and heart diseases early last year and had to ask her children to pay for her treatment. But the medical cost of more than 6,000 yuan (US$885.74) a month was too much for her children who were not rich either, she said.
Then, she decided to become a drug trafficker to raise money on her own and had a villager to contact a drug dealer in Yunnan.
On July 25, Chen arrived in the border town of Lingcang, and received the "ice" from the drug dealer. Her job was to traffic the drug to Kunming, capital of Yunnan, and hand it over to a Zhejiang man surnamed Wang, she told police.
She would have made 10,000 yuan for the job. But she was caught on the train to Kunming two days later.
