Forensic testing needed in case against alleged dealer

Forensic testing still needs to be carried out before the case against an alleged drug dealer from the Isle of Man can continue.

28-year-old Jamie Christopher Hall, of no fixed address, appeared at Douglas Courthouse this week.

He's been accused of possessing heroin and possessing the Class A drug with intent to supply.

Both offences were allegedly committed on November 11.

The court heard the drugs were only sent to a UK testing facility on Wednesday.

An application for bail was refused and he was remanded at the Isle of Man Prison until his next court appearance on January 7.
