Drug-smuggling local Pilot, Colin Murraine was reportedly sentenced to 18 years imprisonment for drug trafficking.
The 32-year-old Murraine was implicated in the February 2018 ONDCP drug seizure at the V. C. Bird International Airport where 47.5 kilos of cocaine were found on a private charter plane that was preparing for takeoff.
He was found guilty of all charges by a jury following a trial in the High Court last month.
According to reports, Murraine was also sentenced to 5 years imprisonment for Possession of a Controlled Drug, 9 years for Possession with Intent to Supply, and 2 years for Attempted Exportation of a Controlled Drug.
It was said that all the sentences will run concurrently.
In addition, the pilot was also reportedly fined EC$300,000 and will serve an additional year in prison if he fails to pay.

That’s harsh point blank. There should be some leniency especially in these difficult times.
He wasn’t thinking about difficult times when he committed the offence. He was thinking about cash money! $$$
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!!!
Three cheers and amen to that!
@ JUST SAYING
I agree with you. This a first time offence.
You mean, first time he got caught!!!
Harsh? You are an idiot.
That sentence is so lenient! What the hell is going on here? The government must make certain he serves every day. Those drugs could have killed many weak people.
Given the weight he attempted to traffic, this was a Very lenient sentence. He will be out in 7.5 yrs.
His lawyer should rotes him going to 1735 and demand space with the white man on the base.
They should share the same room. Two nasty people.
His lawyer should demand space with the white man on the base.
Ok guy/girl that can’t spell Justice
How will he pay the fine if he’s locked up though. Yes punishment must’ve administered , but look at murderers with long list of records are not even getting that much time.
He can cut a deal with the government. Name names. Testify against the “big boys” and bring them down. It’s that simple. From what I hear, he’s about ready to sing like a canary.
He and his lawyer had the chance to do that. but he said he did not do it. Remember? Pleaded, “not guilty”.
He guilty as hells.
If it was one of the street people you all would be calling for more time.
Someone said *he’s young* but he was old enough to know right from wrong.
104.7 lbs is a lot of drugs… Harsh? Hmmm.
The law was there before the offense
Exactly!
Cocaine is a helluva drug. No sympathy here.
Not as helluva powerful as the one Lovell takes to convince him that he is destined to become PM.
I think they could of show some Mercy on him 18years is too much he didn’t kill anyone. Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 Just saying he is young deserve to be given a chance to make changes in his life no man is perfect..
He can be a perfect little prisoner at 1735, a real example to the bad boys there. He want mercy? Then start naming names. After that, we’ll talk again. Until then he deserve every minute in that hell hole at 1735. Speak man speak!
Does the drug worth it, to throw 18 years of your life away. Greed.
Judge not, that ye not be judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
