Liverpool drug smuggler to appeal 10-year sentence

A man who was jailed for more than 10 years for posting £31,000 worth of cocaine and cannabis to the Island is to appeal against his sentence.

Paul Joseph Rowan of Darwall Road in Liverpool was sentenced to 10 years and eight months after admitting importing cocaine and cannabis.

The dad of two told the court he owed thousands of pounds to drug dealers and was threatened with violence if he didn't send the drugs here.

He's due to appear before Judge of Appeal Cross and Deemster Gough on April 26.
