The drugs carried by a young grandmother can kill someone or destroy their lives in exactly the way drugs peddled by someone else can. The sooner they dispatch her to the dark void, the better. People who make money by creating misery deserve no mercy.

Kuala Lumpur: An official says a 43-year-old Malaysian woman has been charged with smuggling heroin in her bra.
Drug trafficking carries the mandatory death penalty upon conviction.
Prosecutor Raya Hazeelia Mohammad says Harini Che Soh was charged in a court in eastern Terengganu state Wednesday. No plea was recorded.
Raya Hazeelia said Thursday that Harini was arrested last week at a bus terminal. She could not immediately give further details.
The Star reports 20 ampoules of heroin were found in Harini's bra after police became suspicious of her "abnormal bust size."
Another woman was reportedly arrested with Harini but it is not clear whether the other woman has been charged.
