HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - An appeals court in Ho Chi Minh City sentenced an Australian woman to death for heroin trafficking, a court official said Wednesday.
Vietnam-born Jasmine Luong, 34, of Sydney, was convicted during a one-day trial Tuesday of trafficking 3 pounds of heroin, the court official said on condition of anonymity, citing policy.
Luong was caught with the heroin hidden in her shoes and luggage in February last year at the Ho Chi Minh City airport while preparing to board a flight to Sydney.
